February 7th, 1985

English Translation:

To Asahi,
Don’t be surprised. This is the real deal. Listen to the tape. Don’t tell anyone. We’re going to send this letter to Katsuhisa. It’s no use telling anyone on the phone. They’re all wiretapped. When the letter gets there, you better have a talk with Katsuhisa so that he understands. If you don’t send the money we agreed on, we’ll start all over from the beginning.

Glico probably won’t give me the money, so you should prepare it for me. Have Glico split it up into separate payments and give it to me in promissory notes.

English Translation:

Katsuhisa, it’s been a while. That time in the flood prevention storage house was really interesting, wasn’t it? You probably still dream about it. You understand how society is. The world is a cruel place. It doesn’t matter if the police shut down your company. Try to catch me. I’m gonna make you give me the 600,000,000 we agreed on. I know you won’t give it to me easily. Make Asahi from Toyo Shigyo do it.

I sent you a letter. I am the only one who knows. I’m not sure which one of your friends I’ll blackmail next. If I get caught, I’ll probably die. Don’t tell anyone. Talk about it with Asahi.
