To Whom It May Concern ,

In the final days of February 2000 , I sent a letter to the offices of Harpo Productions inc down in Chicago Il. Contained with that letter was also a script intitled "The Comity",while seeled in another sepreat envelope , addressed personally to bliss Oprah Winfrey herself was the identical original copy

In that / those letter (s) , I was recommending a new publication. Weather it be

a news letter , news piper , magazine or whatever , I was not being specific . One

must understand also that it would hive been out of place for me to suggest Miss Winfrey launch this publication in her name , simply for the mear fist that perhaps weeks prior she hid been hinting that after fifteen (IS) years on her show _ she might be leaving. To ask such a thing of this woman - in my opinion under the circumstances , would not only hive been de-classey , but , every bit is unreasonable -unquestionable and unrepresentable is whit Miss Winfrey did or hid done for her _ without any shame purposely , perpetually , personally against me afterwards.

First Miss Winfrey would go on national television - announcing to the world that on April 17th her new magazine "0 The Oprah Magazine" would be coming out , and on that date it hit the stands. Two weeks liter on May Ist , she and her people would finally answer my letter , that same letter which encouraged and give her the idea to create this publication. From ill the letters she hid received from ill the world , in other words , it was my letter alone which was now allowing her to litterly walk off to the bank every month depositing cheques worth millions of dollars. Yet that letter wasn't considered important enough to answer for nearly two months. Then when that letter was finally answered , the response was anything _ but neither polite nor traditional.

At this time Harpo Productions ins would mike enquiries , only is related to script.

There was no mention as to the letter , not even e thank-you card for the idea even ; though they were very careful to mention the script by name. Yet when I opened the

package sent me by Harpo , there it was on top _ the five page copy of the original letter

three pages of P/S end PP/S , with one final page outlining e magazine senerieo. There was instantly no doubt I had been intellectually raped , probably politically plundered , end if so , unquestionably their next only logical step could be nothing other then the actual harvestation or destruction of my ell too reel , fragile , living , human soul. And they didn't even mail my things beck in the envelope they had requested of me , but instead in one of their own anyway. Whet ever became of that second letter , which just happens to be the original draft , I don't know because it was never returned to me ; that I find myself wondering if it isn't hanging on somebody's well somewhere almost as e trophy representing my mentioned soul. The second to lest sentence in my original letter it might be pointed out , made mention to "my soul" also.

The final irony is : it took these people longer to answer my letter , then to launch en entire megezing empire because of it ; if what they did could be considered any kind of answer et ell and not instead outright pleyjurisum.
