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).
