FBI WASH., D.C.

DEAR SIR: THIS IS NOT A FLUNKY LETTER. I'M WRITING IN REGARDS TO A "POSSIBLE" SUSPECT IN THE "D.B. COOPER" CASE. I REALIZE THAT YOU CAN "EASILY" TRACE THIS LETTER (EVEN THO I'M PRINTING) BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I KNOW OF A PARTY THAT IS FULLY QUALIFIED (AND, MOST OF ALL) WOULD PERFORM SUCH AN ACT, JUST TO SEE IF HE COULD DO SAME. TO HIM, THIS WAS A CHALLENGE. HE "REALLY" DIDN'T NEED THE MONEY; IF HE DID IT, THAT IS. EVEN THO I'M CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL KNOW MY IDENTITY, HOME ADDRESS, ETC., I KINDLY REQUEST THAT YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME (FOR MY SAFETY) IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO EVER KNOW OF THIS LETTER — THANKS
