August 15, 1973&#13;
&#13;
President Leopold Sedar Senghor  &#13;
Senegal  &#13;
Africa&#13;
&#13;
Dear President Senghor:&#13;
&#13;
I can end the drought in Africa...and give you, and the Africans...all of the rainfall, and water...that you want and need.&#13;
&#13;
My name is Ted Owens (PK Man)...and my ability to perform miracles...is rather well known in the United States. Around the world, as a matter of fact (see Australian newsclips).&#13;
&#13;
On two past previous occasions...I have ended years-long droughts over two different countries...and given those countries all the rain they needed.&#13;
&#13;
The reason that I am writing to you...is that I understand that a gentleman by the name of Mr. George Gibson recently wrote to you from Oakland, California. He sent a copy of his letter to you. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gibson...but he is obviously more intelligent than anyone else, in what he recommends to you.&#13;
&#13;
I can absolutely assure you...Mr. Gibson's observations, in his letter, are completely accurate.&#13;
&#13;
My great wish, at this time...is to be sent for by African officials...and allowed to help the African people by use of my powers, and the powers of my allies...UFO entities with which I have worked for years. Nothing would give me greater pleasure...than to be able to help the 13 million African people affected by the present killer drought.&#13;
&#13;
And President Senghor...as Mr. Gibson states, it is true...that I am the only human being in the world capable of saving Africa. Therefore it is my hope that you, or other African officials, will bring me and my family over there...so that I can perform this service for the African people...and give them rains and water, in great abundance.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
&#13;
Ted Owens (PK Man)  &#13;
