Re:

Dear [private],

I am writing to follow up on our phone. As I mentioned, the agreement you signed when you left staff bars you from revealing information about the Church you obtained during your staff career.

As you requested, I have enclosed a copy of the ?Agreement and General Release? entered on March 29th, 2003. I look forward to your reviewing it and obtaining the opinion of an independent attorney. Beginning on page 5 under ?Covenants? there are almost two pages of promises and covenants by you not to disclose any information concerning your employment in the church, anything to do with Scientology or its personnel and a myriad of specific areas where you agreed not to discuss, write about, etc. The totality of the covenants that you agreed to and signed overwhelmingly legally bind you to not disclose the information you intentionally placed on the Internet. Each of those postings is a violation of your agreement with the Church.

I also suggest that you look at page seven, number seven ?Remedies for Breach? which makes you responsible for all costs, attorneys fees and damages arising from your behavior should we choose to bring an action against you.

Your agreement to not post until you have had a chance to review the agreement is a step in the right direction. Your putting up a website with your previous postings is a major step backward and multiplies the previous damages that you have caused by the original postings. You must immediately remove that website.
I trust that your review of this agreement will result in your compliance with the terms of this agreement so that no further actions will be necessary.

Very truly yours,
[private]
