Dear Mr. Cleek:

     I represent Religious Technology Center ("RTC"), the owner
of the confidential Advanced Technology of the religion of
Scientology, and the holder of exclusive rights under the
copyrights applicable to the Advanced Technology materials. 
Among these copyrighted and confidential materials are the
Advanced Technology materials of a certain level known as
"Operating Thetan Section VII," "OT VII."    

     I am informed that you have posted on alt.religion.
Scientology a portion of the OT VII materials without the
authorization of RTC, which, of course, would not have given such
authorization had it been requested.  Your action violates RTC's
legal rights in that it is the unauthorized making of an
electronic copy of the copyrighted material and the unauthorized
disclosure of trade secrets materials.

     Your posting constitutes violations of applicable copyright
laws and trade secret misappropriation entitling our client to
damages and an injunction, and impounding of materials and
equipment used in perpetrating the infringing acts.  Your use and
disclosure is not fair use.  No case in the United States has
ever found fair use to apply to copying unpublished materials. 
It is essential that you take immediate and effective action to
remove the unauthorized copy from the Internet, and that you
refrain from any repetition of this or similar acts in the
future.  You are also to delete these and any other OT materials
from your hard drive and any floppy disks and to destroy any hard
copies you have made.

     I will expect an immediate response from you with a
statement of your willingness to comply with these demands.  If
you do not comply immediately, I will have no other recourse but
to initiate legal action to compel compliance.

                              Very truly yours,
                              Helena K. Kobrin
