I'll be the one to say it then. It's a trap! Don't do anything without an attorney. The Monday deadline is to ensure you don't stop and think of that option.

I'll be the one to say it then. It's a trap! Don't do anything without an attorney. The Monday deadline is to ensure you don't stop and think of that option. Do not respond. Call an attorney. Let the attorney write the response, if any. Don't send a potential adversary evidence they don't have and don't try to figure this out yourself without professional legal advice. Consider the legal fees insurance against an irrational amount of future awfulness.
