Dear Sir,

I am suggestively writing to you. About [illegible] airplane hyjacking. I am an imaginative person and I have ideas come to me. I recently sent one to an airline. I am sending this one to you.

I think I see a possible way of altering the [guess: hijacking] arena which could [guess: lead] to [guess: other] possible [guess: methods] of [guess: thwarting]. The way I see it [guess: it] involves a lot of [guess: a] very little labor and material according to the degree of [guess: thwarting] needed.

For [guess: planes] smaller [guess: than] [guess: the] 747, I suggest that the aisle be interrupted with one or maybe two sets of seats be set [guess: up] [guess: consecutive] [guess: per] each.
