Hi,

I haven't heard from you since your mail concerning Leeza. Must 
have been a real winner. I also never got a response to my mail 
to you. May I suggest you archive, as my mail server is very 
undependable at times. Then, I guess you are waiting for me to 
answer all those questions. I do wish you would still respond to 
my last mail.

Now, about your friend's dilemma with A&E.... I would advise her 
to secure a good attorney who has knowledge of entertainment law; 
contracts, releases, etc. She DOES have recourse in this matter 
for two reasons: releases and the fact that her child is a minor. 
Unfortunately, look at all the pictures and press revolving 
around JonBenet. Let me tell you that, after her death, there 
have been little or no permission acquired to use her image or 
the like. The media has shown total disrespect to her family by 
plastering her image all over the place, furthermore, captioning 
her pictures with vicious lies about her family. Why don't you 
tell your friend to write to me here. I'd be glad to be a 
supportive friend. She might be disappointed that I will not talk 
pageants with her, but I would be glad to help her otherwise. A&E 
did us a great favor once. I'm disappointed, especially at Bill 
Kurtis of all people.

Now, about the questions.... I receive a host of questions each 
day. Some people are very violent with their approach, especially 
when I don't answer them. You see, the grand jury has still not 
indicted anyone. The case remains under investigation. I'm not at 
liberty to disclose such information, at the advice of my 
attorneys. That is something that angers some people to no end. 
Why is it that people think the Ramseys are not entitled to the 
same right to be represented by legal counsel as the rest of the 
citizens of the U.S.?

And so, I suppose you might find that disappointing. I did not 
come here to answer questions that might damage this family. I 
DID come here to talk about JonBenet and the family, in general. 
I did not come here to argue or fight with some of the people who 
encounter me. I did not come here to prove that I am any 
particular person. On the contrary, once I assume someone is 
close to my identity, I will launch a diversionary tactic that 
will dismiss any such assumption. Why, you may ask? I will not 
compromise the privacy of this family nor have my words twisted 
by some person in the media.

With you only, I would like to share certain things. I might 
sometimes sound like a New York lawyer; posting disclaimers that 
protect my identity, but I would enjoy just sharing a few things 
about myself and this family. I can see that I have made a few 
slips and typographical errors in my correspondences with you. 
I'll try to be more careful in the future.

I hope to hear from you someday soon. Take care and thank you for 
your loyalty so far.

A Friend
