Deer Oprah,

I understand your apparent refusal to ever get-in contact with me ; even since my first letter^-mailed to you beck in the month of February - which was so responciple for the launching of your "0 Magazine" . I understand the strategy , since you must feel there.^-is no proof as to my claim . I just find the^-situatition you ere putting yourself in , dangerous end perhaps e little incorrectly uncalculatted .

You Oprah are looked upon as e paragon of knowledge , morality end good ethics . You are rich , powerful and your spoken word has been permitted to stand for so much , for so meny , for so long . It should make you proude-thet when we meer peasants turn

on the television , not an hour goes by when in which your name is not spoken or your face plastered "across the screen ; no matter which city we live-^.-in end in some cases even which c country--. .

Why you stand for goodness for so meny ; charity , fashion , why I have even heard

you refured^-to as the black persons greatest hope . Every week you give away tens of thousands of dollars to people who can't help love you ,'but when you think about it , have done nothing for you personally ; when one considers at-the same time that not only did I send you a letter which practically detailed-how you could go about getting your magazine launched but probably how you could even atain the presidency of The United States also .

However ^-since It has been decided ^.,that I am to be-so totally and unaprichativly ignored , I would suggest that the day is coming when I will be forced to walk into opencourt -.proving to the world what kind of unethical woman you really )are and what a thief of other peoples ideas

If it is ever your intention to announce your candidacy for the presidency of The United States., I don't know what people are going to say when they realize your magazine has been built upon a rocky , unbalanced foundation of "intelectuial rape" that of "politic'. plunder" and possibly even with the pourpousfull intended damnation of my human soul .

However I don't know what I should be worried about , nor why I should any longer bother asking that you rectify this magazine creation situation ; not when I have all the letters sent you copy-writen , sealed , post-marked end safely put away as evidence just waiting to be revealed in open court , should such action remain your choice .

I of course- as you must know , would have much preferred not to need choose this route but am afraid your dishonesty has left me little other choice . Surely though when the contents of these letters and their authenticity are reviled , I will finally have been vindicated and at this point after all these meny months , vindication , no matter what form it takes is all that I am interested in ; though I may suggest that you may find that vindication quite costly possabuly not only in monetary terms but as to what it might mean even to your career end the way in the future people might regard your morals .

So in closing Opreh , I can only say that I hope that you are going to do the right thing ; though with past experiences being what they have , it^-is fair to say that I somehow doubt that you will I guess only time will tell ; though I suggest that is time you are soon running out of .

Good Luck
