Cooper letter to The Portland Oregonian with Jacksonville, Florida envelope Id: Cooper-Part-24:404-405 Page: https://cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-24%3A404-405 What is wrong (title, date, type, which pages belong together, copies)? What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.
FBI 164-81, Vault Part 24 pp. 404–405 (DB Cooper-7806), Letter, dated 28 Mar 1972, serial SE 164-81-2720 (as read from the transcript) — cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-24%3A404-405

Gentlemen:
This letter is too let you know I am not dead but really alive and just back from the Bahamas, so your silly troopers up there can stop looking for me. That is just how dumb this government is. I like your articles about me but you can stop them now. D. B. Cooper is not real.
I had to do something with the experience Uncle taught me, so here I am, a very rich man. Uncle gave too much of it to world idiots and no work for me. I had to do it to relieve myself of frustration. I want out of the system and saw a way through good ole Unk. Now you know. I am going around the world and they will never find me because I am smarter than the system's lackey cops and lame duck leaders. Now it is Uncle's turn to weep and pay one of it's own some cash for a change. (And please tell the lackey cops D. B. Cooper is not my real name).
Sincerely,
A Rich Man
