Dear Mr. Davidson:

       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 certain levels known as "Operating 
Thetan Sections I, II and III," "the L Rundowns The L-12 Rundown Step 6," 
"NED for OTs Series 1, 34, 35, 36, 43."

       We have been informed that you have posted substantial portions, and 
in some cases the entirety, of these copyrighted, unpublished works onto the 
Internet without the authorization of our client, who, of course, would not 
have given such authorization had it been requested.  Your action violates 
our client's legal rights in that it is the unauthorized making of electronic 
copies of the copyrighted material and the unauthorized disclosure of trade 
secrets materials.  

       These actions constitute violations of the United States Copyright 
laws entitling our client to damages, an injunction, and impounding of 
materials and equipment used in perpetrating the infringing acts.  It is 
essential that you take immediate and effective action to remove the 
unauthorized copies from the Internet, and that you refrain from any 
repetition of this or similar acts in the future.

       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 expect to be authorized to initiate legal action to compel 
compliance.

                                              Very truly yours,



                                              Helena K. Kobrin
