Mr. Kennedy: I'm mostcertain of your nnowledge of the anti- Kennedy spree swelling the nation, to which my infor- mation will prove interesting indeed. I represent a left-wing orgainization whichT@- ceives bids from Gosa Nostra, Longshoremen's and Team- sters unions respectively to eliminate those detrie mental political figureheads. Teamster s president I-qww-9-'1 Jimmy Hoffa and Franx Bitzsimmons were unpleasently disclosed before the Senate Labor Rackets Conmitee by the counsel directed by Robert Kennedy. A bid Iii--q__Q authorized by union directors of Council 12 B.S.E.I.U. OF Greater New York and Teamster union officials was brought before our New York Delegatoin to discontinue his political progress. If the senator had lost the . race in California, his elimination from the contine R _ gency would have been certain. However, he won and had to be stopped. .. Presently, a Bostonian financing corporation wishes to eliminate Sen. Edward M. Kennedy from active contingency so that they may post a prospective cand- idate. A bid has been received for five hundred thou- sand dollars which is now under deep consideration by 4 our syndicate. The only method of saving your son is by outbidding the proposed deal. We would line one million dollars which will serve as retroactive cash and will outbidthe previous attempt. The money should J. -; be placed in a modern breifoase and placed behind e ash; telephone pole accross the road from the newly built hone on Pleasant Hill Road in Orange, Connecticut. Our corporation will expect the currency by noon of Thursday, June 20. A guard will be posted to assure of no foul play. The money will most preferably oe accepted in fifty dollar bills. Certainly a man with one son left cannot risk or foolishly gamble his life. | _n . la _ 1y your?,,-q , l/F, I ,5, -/é"'L92 J7 , zip illi Association Jm/ rd ENCLOSURE I,Q Ii___ .1.

It the senator had lost the race in Oalitcrnia, his elimination from the contin- gency would have been certain. However, he won and had to be stopped. Presently, a Bostonian financing corporation eiehee to eliminate $en. Edward H. Kennedy from active contingencyso that they lay goat aprospective cand- idate. A bid has been receive for I ve unareo thou- sand dollars which is new under deep consideration by our syndicate. The only method of saving your son is by cutbidding the proposed deal. We would lire one million dollars which will serve as retroactive cash and willoutbidthe previousattempt. Themoney should be placed in a modern breifcase and placed be ind a telephone pole acoross the road from the newly-built hone on Pleasant Hill Road in Orange, Connecticut. Our corporation will expect the currency by noon of 1.. Ihursday, June 20. A guard will be posted to assure 3-rr of no foul play. The money will most preferably oe accepted in fifty dollar bills.
