Dear Mr. Golphalk,

How are you sir ? Great show'. Keep up the good work. Well sir, I guess it is obvious I don't know how to start this letter , though I ment it all - truly. Anyway I guess I      will just start and I guess it shouldn't be all that harp - partly because this problem has been going on since late in the month of February and the fact that within the past two (2) pays , I have

inc. " down in Chicago. In this letter I wrote to this woman , I revealed a vision that surprisingly perhaps to some, could have put me in the prime­ministership of this country , Canada. Now maybe Miss Oprah Winfrey or people around her didn't believe in my vision and so decided it would be more profitable for them to pervert my vision somewhat to their own ends. Fine , I understand how these things happen. Politics is a tough game and in fact , without realizing it , what she has done- though I believe it unethical , immoral amp extreamelyn inhumane , the opportunity for me to suddenly almost out of nowhere become this countries prime-minister is still there. It just means I might have to tinker with my plan a little bit pifforontoly first .

You must be wondering what it is I could be possibly talking about surely. So let me put it to you this way sir, if I might. I was wondering what people would say if they were to realize this "women's magazine" as it is being called came about because of a letter sent to her by a man who has to live on welfare and is about to have his electricity cut off. You may also find yourself wondering            as do I , why this woman who has been reported to be some sort of "champion of the people" has not bothered in all this time to offer me the simplest of thank-yous or some kind of "finders fee" because the fact is six (6) weeks after I sent that litter to Miss Winfrey , there it was on news stands, in book stores and in peoples homes "0 The Oprah Magazine" , which my litter was so instrumental in the creation of.

I might point out that it was obvious from my letter sent to Miss Winfrey all those many months ago , it was my intention to get a new publaction launched. The publication I intended may not have exactly been "0 The Oprah Magazine" but since people chose to latterly pervert my letter the way they did, the fact that I made it known I was a writer too and the main reason I

wanted to create this new publication was because in it I was latterly going to write my way into the Prame-Manastershap of this country, my country, this country I love so much  well I find it hard to believe I was not even offered a column in "0 The Oprah Magazine". So I am wondering, what do I have to do before I say anything about this situatition - wait until Miss all high and mighty Oprah Winfrey announces her intentions to offer her canadancy for the presidency of The United States of America?

Another way we know that "The Oprah Magazine" was brought about because of that letter I sent to her all those meny months ago is because one.it was a very political letter I mailed and that cover that came out six (6) weeks later with her in that lovely long grey skirt with the cute white knit top and that predominately blue back-ground. These colors alone

would suggest political inspiration (my letter) and aspiration (her intention). I'm tilling you sir, you and I may be two (2) of the very few who know that this woman probably has intentions of trying to capture the Prisidinticy of The United States of America and if this situatition is not made right

by me , I can assure you I have every intention of opening my big fat mouth as to my suspicions. Besides we can almost be certain Oprah wants this. Why else the sudden worry about what people think about her and her sudden wish to get married when she said only months ago that she was not going to be getting married in the near fucture on national television?

The way I see it, this magazine has been built on a foundation of

"intellectual rape" and "political plunder" causing me great "personal injury" and if this matter needs go to court , I will be asking for a settlement of anywhere between one-hundred and forty (140) to two hundred and eighty million dollars ($280,000,000) before I would be able to feel justice has been surved. There may be a lot of things I can stand by and watch as people take them away from me but my mind is not something or the ideas which come from it , that I am going to sit by doing nothing while others use it for their own unwarranted pourpous.

There is still another way in which I know this "magazine" came about because of my letter. It has to do with the fact that over the meny months I have sent six (6) letters and a card - thanking Oprah for the magazine and making it clear I realize I was instrumental in bringing "0 The Oprah Magazine" to publication , as well as a number of manuscripts I had believed were going to be published. Not once however has one of my letters been answered -.as if in an attempt to correct me about my suspicions regarding the "launching" and as for the manuscripts well they come back without even the simplest of rejection letters attached to them. Now I will admit , as a writer there is little I enjoy less than a "rejection letter" but under the circumstances you would think that would be the least I could expect as well as somebody's denial that I or my letter had anything to do with the launching of "0 The Oprah Magazine" unless what I say is true and somebody mistakenly thinks that I am just going to fade away if no response is provided for.

Now we realize this "magazine" or "my idea" is going to make millions upon millions of dollars for Oprah and her people and that's all very well and fine. However since this has all been my idea I was hoping since they are not apparently going to show their gratitude through publishing me,that The Oprah Origination would instead by their own free will provide me with a pay­ment of which I could fend acceptable. I would therefore be able to still hold my head up - without feeling I had been riped-off and at the same time relinquishing all claims as to my part in bringing "0 The Oprah Magazine" to publication. Now these "points of payment" I have already made known to Oprah en a letter sent on the sixteenth (16th) of June. No answer however , as usually, has been forthcoming. So sir, I was hoping someone as influential as yourself would be able to spell it out for her in one last attempt , before this matter really dose have to find itself in front of the courts and within the realms of "public opinion" where undoubtabuly much disgrace will be brought upon (the Oprah origination).

This is pretty much the way in which I would-expect the payments to go. Firstly let me point out that I am talking about U.S. dollars and of an amount of two-hundred thousand ($200,000) in cash of four (4) equal payments; to be received all at the same time. The first payment of $50,000 could be made by Oprah herself with a following equal payment by her "angle origination" or somebody on their behalf - such as again , Oprah herself. The third (3rd) payment could be made by Harpo Productions inc. since it was to them that I wrote in the first place with an accompanying letter enclosed in the envelope addressed to Oprah way back in February. The final payment of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) I feel should be made by the publishers in New York , or again by somebody on their behalf such as Oprah ; since she is the one most profiting from this whole rather unpleasant ordeal.

Should there be any doubt as to the fact that it was that letter I sent to Miss Winfrey so long ago which brought this all to a head , I can only say that I still have copies of all the letters I have mailed to date and anyone whom wishes to is more than welcome to read them. With that I thank-you for your time sir and hope to hear from you soon,

Respectively Yours

Brannon Harold Carty
