What do you actually . . . do?
I've read the (admittedly edited) email three times and I still can't determine what the writer is adding to the project.
Specifically, what does "I?ve taken the product to the next level where the company can possibly make a handsome profit out of it" mean? Is it a money-maker or not? What did you *do* to ... take it to the next level (does that mean it's a finished product? Or just not as buggy?)
The writer admits that the offshore team could do the development, and it's the writer's "vision" that the writer wishes to protect.
It sounds like someone needs to be brutally honest with the writer. It's not the "cooperation" that's endangering his/her future employment. It's the fact that the writer can't explain what has been concretely accomplished AND how the writer can further help his/her employers by remaining attached to the project.
Of course, with my cynic's hat on, it also sounds like two middle managers competing for turf...one of 'em should be fired just for morale.
