Special Agent [redacted] F.B.I. U.S. Department of Justice 392 Federal Building 110 S. 4th Minneapolis, Minn. 55401

Dear [redacted]:
This letter is in regards to the parachuting skyjacking on November 24, 1971 of a Northwest Airlines plane between Seattle, Washington and Reno, Nevada. This case has, so far, not been solved and the skyjacker who collected $200,000 is known only as D.B. Cooper.
In a telephone conversation on November 8, 1973 with [redacted] at Northwest Airlines, St. Paul, Minnesota, we discussed rewards offered in this case. He told me of rewards having been offered of 10% of recovered amounts, or possibly $25,000 if all is recovered. [redacted] also told me of a Seattle newspaper offering $5000.
By telephone conversation on November 6, 1973 and personal meeting on November 8, 1973, [redacted] gave information to special agent [redacted] of the Wilshire Office of the F.B.I. in Los Angeles. This information concerned possibilities of a [redacted] as a suspect in the November 24, 1971 skyjacking. Since November 8, 1973 we have had other contacts with Special Agent [redacted]
This information re-opened the investigation of [redacted] as a suspect. Until the November 8, 1971 meeting between Special Agent [redacted], [redacted] had been presumed [redacted].
[redacted] gave evidence that he is alive and also clues that there might be a link between him and the skyjacking.
This letter is to serve as claim to any such available rewards should [redacted] be brought to justice in connection with the parachuting skyjack of November 24, 1971 of the Northwest Airline.
Any reward is to be kept absolutely confidential and is to be [redacted] [redacted] There is, of course, a risk of revenge
