PETE VILINSKY 227 West 46th Street NY, NY 10036 Lawrence Wollersheim F.A.C.T.Net, Inc. 601 16th Street, #C-217 Golden, CO 80403 Re: False Statements in "Death, Psychosis and Scientology" October 13, 1994 Dear Mr. Wollersheim: It has come to my attention, once again, that the defamatory leaflet which you have entitled, "Death, Psychosis and Scientology" is still being carried online on your bulletin board service known as "FACTNet." Surely an organization that uses the acronym of "FACTNet" would have some concern for the accuracy of the information that it publishes. Yet, despite the fact that I informed you of the falsehoods in your publication, you continue to put these out on your computer bulletin board. I am appalled that your organization continues to deliberately circulate these You falsely alleged that my father, Phil Vilinsky, died "during auditing" and that "Scientology withheld information from his family." My father was very dear to me and I was immediately notified by members of the Church when he died, at the age of 62, of natural causes. Your insinuation that there was foul play is disgusting, and in all honesty I must say that only a really sick mind could have printed such a lie and continue to print it despite evidence to the contrary. I demand immediate retraction of this false allegation about my father from your publication. If you do not take action within a reasonable time period I will be forced to pursue legal remedies. Sincerely, CC: CC: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Denver P.O. Box 1229, Denver, Colorado 80201 District Attorney, Jefferson County 1726 Cole Boulevard, Suite 300 Golden, Colorado 80401 October 13, 1994 Lawrence Wollersheim F.A.C.T.Net, Inc. 601 16th Street, #C-217 Golden, CO 80403 Dear Mr. Wollersheim, This is to inform you that information being circulated to the public on your "FACTNet" computer bulletin board service about me is false and defamatory. You have distributed a piece called "Death, Psychosis and Scientology" in which I am named under the heading of, "Allegations of Attempted Suicides While Receiving Scn Services." It is obvious that you have not bothered to verify your information. I have never "attempted suicide" at any time in my life, and certainly not while receiving Scientology services. The Scientology services I have received have been highly beneficial. You do not have my permission to use my name in this or any other publication. I find it completely abhorrent that you would publish such a piece with lies about myself and other individuals. Remove my name immediately from your computer data base and send me a written confirmation of this, or I will be forced to take legal action against your organization. Yours truly, Sand~~~~~~j~~~ cc: District Attorney's Office, Golden, Colorado Consumer Fraud Unit 1726 Cole Blvd, Suit 300 Golden, Colorado 80401 cc: Golden Sheriff's Department 100 Jefferson County Parkway Golden, CO 80401
