Dear Ms. Kobrin:

I understand you represent the Cult of Scientology. I have received what I believe to be a parody of some cult documents from an anonymous source. The document is so hilarious I can not imagine it could be the scriptures of any serious church. I would like to post this material to alt.religion.scientology. There are no markings in the document, which I've received via email, indicating that it is in fact copyrighted material or even that it is the material of the Cult of Scientology.

But I know the cult you represent has a penchant for filing frivolous lawsuits. Therefore, I'd like to know how I can go about ensuring that this document is a parody and not, in fact, some of your cult's copyrighted material.

Please respond at your earliest convenience.
