FBI laboratory processing stamp with case number A-45410, file number 164-2111, noting it is a hand-printed letter signed D/B. Cooper, sent to the FBI laboratory for analysis. A hand-printed letter dated December 4, 1971, purportedly from D.B. Cooper, addressed to 'SIRS' (likely a skydiving organization). The writer jokes about sending membership dues after breaking some big bills, claims his jump from a 727 jet qualifies him as a skydiver, and signs off with a quip about landings being softened by a $200,000 pillow — a reference to the ransom money from the hijacking. FBI Vault document identification number stamped at bottom of page.
