SIRS

I WILL SEND YOU SOME MONEY TO COVER THE COST OF MY MEMBERSHIP WHEN I BREAK SOME BIG BILLS. I HOPE MY ONE JUMP FROM A 727 JET QUALIFIES ME AS A SKY-DIVER.

D.B. Cooper

MAY ALL YOUR LANDINGS BE SOFTENED BY A $200,000.00 PILLOW.

A crank or hoax letter dated December 4, 1971, written as if from D.B. Cooper to what appears to be a skydiving club or organization. The author jokes about sending membership dues once they 'break some big bills,' references a single jump from a 727 jet qualifying them as a skydiver, and signs off wishing that all landings be softened by a $200,000 pillow — alluding to the ransom money from the November 24, 1971 hijacking. FBI filing reference stamp or page identifier at the bottom right of the page.
