Gentlemen:
A few days ago I wrote to you mentioning the name of
Perhaps I did not give you much to go on at that time.
Now I think I can do better. A few years ago there was a commercial airplane hijacked in Oregon. The hijacker was given the money he demanded, and a parachute. He escaped by parachuting from the airplane.
My recollection of this incident is that the hijacker was of an age that made it possible that he was a paratrooper during World War II. Certainly he had confidence in his parachute, and knew what conditions were required. He had the airplane slow down to a jumping speed before he jumped.
It is possible that he made things easier for you by applying for a passport soon afterwards, if not beforehand.
It is possible that he made things easier for you by applying for a passport soon afterwards, if not beforehand. It is also possible that he did not pose for his own passport photo, but used the photo of someone else, but I think not. He probably did not realize that nobody looks at those photos.
If you should get the passport photo of and show it to the hijacked aircrew, you might have something right there. Even if the time limits for prosecution have expired, it should be possible to recover the money.
Yours very truly

I do not really know that anything is wrong until something is very plain to see. That was the case with the above subject. I could only suspect because certain things did not seem right.
I am writing to you again now because I am not sure about something else.
