I have just been shown a letter that seems to be part of a harassment
campaign against the secretary of FAIR.
FAIR (Family Action, Information and Resource) publishes a newsletter,
keeps archives of cult-related material and gives interviews to the press.

An open letter has been sent to nine committee members, supposedly by "a
concerned member", but I am told that there is reason to believe it was
sent by a scientologist. The letter viciously criticises the committee for
alleged financial and organisational mismanagement and alleges that the
committee is dissatisfied with Ms Tyrrell's work.

What is disturbing is that the letter *includes Ms Tyrrell's home address*
and has been cc'ed to the following organisations:

I.S.K.O.N.
The Family
The Unification Church
The Jehovas' Witnesses
Jesus Fellowship
The Church of Scientology
Central London Church of Christ
Worldwide Church of God
Emin Foundation
Sajaja Yoga
School of Economic Science
[typo's as in original]

The writer claims to know Ms Tyrrell's address on the basis of "informed
and substantiated rumours, backed up by in-depth enquiries". It is not
said who made these enquiries. The letter seems to be intended to cause
disruption within FAIR and to show how well they have been infiltrated.
