Dear Mrs. Minton:

I write to you directly because I have asked Bob to allow us to meet together to discuss the current situation, but he has declined.

I am certain you are unaware of the real activities and nature of the people Bob is involved with, and I do not believe you would want your family engaged in these matters if you knew the character of these people or their agenda with respect to the “Minton money.”

While Bob claims that the Church has sought to upset his family, in truth it is his activities that are the source of the turmoil that now surrounds his life and yours, It comes about as a result of his relationship with a group of morally bankrupt individuals who are taking money from him while they are engaged in unethical and even criminal activities.

Stacy Young is the center of much of the harm that is being caused. She has a history of engaging in illicit relationships, Bob is not the first to be lured into her web. While Bob denies that this relationship exists, however, I have documentary evidence that on July 24 and 25, 1998, Bob and Stacy are at your home in New Hampshire together. Their affair is alive and well and the manipulation and deceit continues.

Your husband, so far as we know, has spent almost $2 million dollars - at least funding Vaughn and Stacy Young (a house and various payments); Lawrence Wollersheim (to the tune of over $500, 000); Ken Dandar ($250,000); Arnie Lerma ($60,000); Keith Henson ($25,000); Grady
Ward ($60,000); Dennis Ehrlich ($5,000); and Jessie Prince (reportedly $100,000). There may be more.

Courts have found several of this group of low-lifes guilty of violating the Church’s rights and yet Bob gives them money to continue. A couple of them are wife abusers and child molesters. None are fit to be in the presence of you or your children, yet Bob is playing Santa Claus to them with your money. Bob’s irresponsible, if not outright malicious acts, are damaging my church and individual Scientologists are well as you and your children. I believe a face-to-face meeting between us would be helpful.

This is a serious matter. What is occurring is causing a great deal of damage. If you were aware of all the facts, I am sure you would not support what is happening.

You can contact me at 213-960-3500 or 213-960-3508 (fax). I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Mike Rinder
