Dear Mr. Stilo,

These are the LRH policies I am familiar with regarding refund of money to dissatisfied public. Aren't these the official church policies regarding refunds? Have you guys stopped using ALL of the technical and administrative policies by L. Ron Hubbard?

In HCO Policy Letter 23 October 1963 "Refund Policy", L. Ron Hubbard wrote:

"...I have always promptly and imMediately caused to be refunded every penny of the money paid by any person who was dissatisfied with his or her processing."

and

"I have only worked then with these three policies:

1. Refund at once in full any refund demanded;
2. Work hard with tech staff to ensure good results;
3. Forbid the sale of further processing to anyone receiving a refund and make the case known to Scientologists."

and

"A tough refund policy injects aberrated stable data against the confusion of bad or poor technical service. A mild refund policy keeps [the] technical [division] on its toes."

and

"The new policy then is:

1. Refund any fees when and as demanded whether for training or for processing;

2. Refuse further and all future training or processing to
anyone demanding a refund as the condition of refund;"

HCO Policy Letter of 31 July 1966 "Refund Notice", by Hubbard says:

"It is IMPORTANT that every posted scale of fees and every rate card bear the following notice prominently displayed at the bottom:

FEES PROMPTLY REFUNDED TO ANY DISSATISFIED STUDENT OR PRECLEAR"

I am very dissatisfied, to say the least. I want all moneys paid to FSO by myself and my wife REFUNDED in their entirety: $68,696.93
