Dear Sun Publishers,

I was wondering how people will react when they learn that the person

who give Oprah Wenfrey the idea for a new magazine is not only a min but that he also his to live on welfare and with no electricity in his Canadian home. The fact is I sent this woman a letter way back in February , in which I revealed a vision that surpassingly - for some perhaps - could hive made me Prime-Minister of my country , within a very short time. In that same letter I was also asking Miss Wenfrey questions along the line is to weather she knew people who might be entrusted in helping her start a publication. The publication I was asking for was not spisficly "0 The Oprih Magazine" though

publication through the submissions of articles. That was pretty much the way I was going to capture the Canadian peoples hearts; through the writing of these articles.

Now maybe nobody it "Harpo Productions inc. believed I would be able to place myself in the Prememenestershep of this country that way but none the less , six (6) weeks after I mailed that letter to Miss Wenfrey , there it was - her magazine , in book-shops , on news stands and in peoples homes. We know that it was my letter to this woman which inspired the magazine too , simply because it was one, a very political letter I sent and then the cover of the premiere issue in which Oprah is wearing that long grey skirt with the white knit top and that predominately blue background. Those colors alone would seem to suggest political inspiration; especially when you compare that issue with her following flaming red issue of july/auguest.

To date I have sent countless letters and cards to Miss Winfrey since that first letter which launched a magazine as well as a number of manuscripts. None of my letters have ever been answered and the manuscripts which have come back did so without the simplest of rejection letters attached to them. Now I admit that as a writer , there are few things I enjoy less than "rejection letters". Under the circumstances however , I think such a courtesy could be the least I could expect. It is almost as though somebody has decided not to admit where the idea for this magazine came from and that they think by ignoring me , I am simply going to go away or fade into nonexistence.

I find this behavior most suprizing for a woman such as Miss Winfrey , who over the years has perhaps sometimes mistakenly been regarded as a "champion of the people". This action -under these circumstances would not suggest her to be any such thing and if I am forced to put my spin on this matter I will make it realized as far as "0 The Oprah Magazine" goes , this publication has been built on a foundation of "intellectual rape and political plunder" which have caused me all sorts of "personal injury". Should this matter need be taken up by the courts , I would find myself competed to seek a judgement on those grounds of anywhere between one-hundred and forty (140) to two-hundred and eighty million dollars ($280,000,000).

As for the letters and cards that I have mailed to Miss Winfrey, I still have copies of them all , naturally. If you are interested in seeing these letters, especially the first one which brought about the magazine launching , I have made it very easy for you to contact me ; as I have always done for Miss Winfrey over these meny months. Other than that I can only say thank-you for your time and that I will hope to be hearing from you in the near fucture.

Respectively Yours

Brannon Harold Carty
