         Dear Don:
         
                   In order for QVC to determine what further action it 
         may take in connection with its offer, we would appreciate your 
         providing a copy of the Simpson Thacher opinion to the Para-
         mount Board on which the Board based its determination that it 
         had a fiduciary duty to terminate the merger agreement between 
         Paramount and QVC and a copy of the Lazard Freres presentation 
         to the Paramount Board evaluating the QVC and Viacom offers.  
         In view of the time constraints we would appreciate it if you 
         would deliver these documents as early as possible today.
         
                                       Sincerely,
         
         
         
                                       Martin Lipton
         
         ML/mb
