Sir: -
I'm taking the liberty to write
you directly about a matter that
I believe has reached significant
status, and deserves to be considered
from the highest level.
I am positive I know the man
who started this rash of parachute
hijacking or skyjacking D.B. Cooper.
He has become living proof that
this sort of thing can be done
successfully, and with his capture
I believe the wind would be
knocked out of the parachutes of
many potential skyjackers before
they got off the ground.
I have a credibility problem
because of my record and crime.
I need the ear of an intelligent person
who will not let anything sway his
judgement untill he has heard.
[guess: what] I have to say. 164-81-3556
[guess: Other] the facts are in and the
results proven I hope special
