[REDACTED] advised that he is fairly certain that this envelope is a prank; however, inasmuch as it ap- parently pertains to the infamous D. B. COOPER, responsible for captioned hijacking, he felt he should make this in- formation available to the FBI.
No lead is being set out for the New York Division and this is being left to the discretion of Seattle.
