Dear Sirs:

With reference to the hijack-ransomed plane just before Thanksgiving.

I would like to suggest a remotely possible lead to the people involved in this crime. I do it quite diffidently because the people I suggest [REDACTED] [REDACTED] One person, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] He bears a certain resemblance to the sketch of the person who hijacked the plane although he may be taller than the description indicates.

The other, [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

It is most probable that these people are not involved, but regardless of the outcome of any investigation I do not want my name mentioned at any time in any way.

Yours truly, [REDACTED]
