MHO, not an option. You started this (meant with all understanding and kindness) by sending the email. You need to see it through otherwise you will once again come across as falsely threatening.

No reason to get into the nitty-gritty details of the situation just ask for a yes or no answer from him. Be firm and to the point about your decision based on what he has to say to you.
