"To Whom It Concern,
"I hope you are able to grasp these few words of wit, I wish you to believe in me I have never been in your town, But I am sure I have some important information that you and the F.B.I. would love to hear. Early this eviming [sic, likely evening] I was reading a local newpaper, while reading I notice one particular article. State that the very famous hijacker of Nov 24-1971 that parachuted into the darkness over Oregon, carring the sum of $200,000 with him his name was D.B. COOPER. Of course I am sure you people will laugh & call me crazy, but I asked God to show me this man whereabouts and he did as always in a vision. I will not give my name because I do not want to be in newspapers or T.V. I am not asking for a reward, I am only doing what God has choosen for me.
"You will find this man at 1246 So. Glencove Road., Syracuse, NY. He will be using the name B. BUCLER HOGAN. My vision shows he has a family. This is your man. Do investage this situation because God don't lie. May God bless all of you and the rest of us American,
