Dear Sir:

I believe I may have valuable [redacted] information for you to relay to the FBI office your city about the parachuting skyjacker who left the N-O Airlines plane in your area.

Please honor my request to remain anonymous in this letter to you and the FBI, anything further from me would be needless as I have all hunches on the identity of the skyjacker to give you in this letter, and nothing more and do not wish any typ of retaliation now or later.

More than one person is involved I am very certain. The actual skyjacker himself I think, was recently employed [REDACTED] [REDACTED] but his facial and hair appearances were not the same as the drawing of the suspect appearing the the papers everywhere. The features are the SAME, and all other characteristics decsribed in the press reports. Doubtless, the suspect recently shortened his hair and mustache was shaved away. The jawbone, nose, MOUTH, forehead and ears plus overall physical description fits to this person [REDACTED] there last spring.

He would be [REDACTED] normally and itinerant and formerly lived in Florida. He would in the past be engaged in [REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

He would also be [REDACTED] I do not know his name but I have seen an almost perfect description in the newspapers and on TV to remember such a person that I once met and vaguely knew a few years ago when I [REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

This is only a hunch, but a very strong one, this could be the m[an] I am very sure.

Sincerely yours, An anonymous citizen Thank-you.
