Dear Mr. Abelson,

Re: Your letters to the Postal Inspection Service dated 3/5/02 and 4/4/02

Let me begin by apologizing for my posting of 7/19/02 on the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology. I should not have referred to you as a 'Scn slime attorney.' I am not accustomed to being called a thief, so you may find it understandable when I say it irritated me just a bit. I did wonder why you referred to me as 'Valerie Diane Emanuel aka Valerie Pelkey', when I have not used my maiden name since 1976.

I also wondered, and so did Mr. Moffittt, why you included in your list of exhibits an old page from my website that dealt with actor and cult member Tom Cruise. A reading of the fifth sentence of that exhibit answers that question. Why did you dance around the issue? If you wished to inform my employer that I had bipolar disorder and was a psychiatric patient, you merely had to print out any number of my postings to alt.religion.scientology, where I not only stated this fact, but listed my medications. However, you are sadly misinformed if you thought this would cause me difficulties in my employment. We have what is called The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission in America.

I can understand your client's frustration. This year must have been quite difficult for them. First, there was that ill-advised attack on Operation Clambake via Google's links that resulted in worldwide free publicity for Mr. Heldal-Lund's website, and such awful publicity for the cult of Scientology--exposing their aversion to free speech for all to see. Then, the New York Post had that article in which they mentioned my website, Scientology-kills.org. I had over 260,000 hits on my website in March, an unprecendented number!

You may reassure your client. There is absolutely nothing they could place in the mailstream which would tempt me to risk losing my job, let alone risk serving time in prison. While I am at work, they will continue to receive the same First-Class service from me that all clients of the U.S. Postal Service receive.

I realize the cult of Scientology has a different mindset. After all, any group which would infiltrate and steal documents from the IRS, as your client did in the 70's, (those interested can do a search, and see the Grand Jury doc's) would likely consider stealing from the United States mail to be a small matter. However, I took an oath to uphold the sanctity of the mail when I became a Postal employee, and I take it seriously.

I would like to say, in closing, that I consider it an honor to be 'fair-gamed' by your client--as I considered it an honor to have Scientology-kills.org mentioned alongside Operation Clambake. I intend to keep informing people of the cult of Scientology's greed and mendacity, and it will not be necessary for me to break the laws of our wonderful country in order to do so. You may so inform your client.

Thank you,

Valerie Emanuel
