My lawyer replies to the Scientology cult...

The cult lawyers in Norway are at it again. I'm impressed they have the same law firm as they had in September 2000.
And you have the same Advokat as in 1996. This is one of my favorite lawyer letters in response to cult threats.

Re: Andreas Heldal-Lund - copyright. Church of Scientology.
Reference is made to your telefax dated Nov. 17 th. I am not yet quite aware of my involvement in this matter, apart from the fact that I, like most decent people in the civilized and enlightened world, would like to observe the death and cremation of your client soonest possible.
My own crusade against your church started long time ago. As per to-day your "church" is close to bankrupcy in Norway - partly thanks to my efforts. A rather rewarding experience.
Please observe that English is not my mother tounge, and please observe that I only receive 3 pages of the voluminous telefax you maintain to have sent me. 22 pages are missing. Based on what is said above, I humbly ask you to have these 25 pages properly translated into Norwegian before sending them to me. Furthermore I ask you to give me specific references to the Norwegian laws you claim have been violated from Mr. Heldal- Lunds side - again in Norwegian.
My Norwegian counterpart, so far, has been Mr. John Arild Aasen, a Norwegian lawyer located in Oslo. He might take care of the practicalities mentioned above.
Finally, I do hope this dispute can find its solution before your "church", for very good reasons, is being hounded out of this country. Then we shall have no counterpart here to adress.
Please accept receipt of this telefax.
Best regards
Knut Vigeland
