Japanese Letter Text:

全国のフアン の みなさん え
わしら もう あきてきた
社長が あたま さげて まわっとる 男が あたま さげとん
のや ゆるして やっても ええやろ
ナカマの うちに 4再の こども いて まい日 グリコ
ほしい ゆうて ないている わしらも さいきん たべ
へんけど むかしは よう くうた もんや
こども なかせたら あかん うまい くいもん のうなったら
わしらも こまる
江崎ｸﾞﾘｺ ゆるしたる スーパーも グリコ うってええ
青さんいりの チョコレート 18こ は もやしてもうた
1こは 5月9日に ダイエーイバラキ店え おいた
どおなったか しらん 1こは べつの 店から 5月18日に
とりもどした
日本は むしあつう なってきた ひとしごと したら
ヨオロッパえ いくつもりや チュウリヒ ロンドン パリ
の どこかに おる
けいさつも ようやった これに こりんと がんばりや
ホームズ君でも わしらには かてんのや かい人20面相
よんだら あたま ようなるで
けいさつの ヨオロッパ ツアー
かい人21面相を つかまえに ヨオロッパえ いこう
たびの おともに グリコの ポッキー
わしも たべてる おいしい グリコ
かい人21面相
らい年 1月に かえってくる

English Translation:

To our fans throughout Japan:
We're satisfied. The president of Glico has already gone around with his head hanging down long enough. We would like to forgive him.
In our group there's a 4 year old kid - every day he cries for Glico. We also haven't eaten any for a long time - and we used to eat it all the time.
It's a drag to make a kid cry cause he's deprived of the candy he loves.
So we're also really upset. It would be great if we could forgive Glico so the supermarkets could sell their products again.
We have destroyed 18 chocolates that had acid in them. We left 1 on the 9th of May in the Daiei store in Ibaraki Prefecture but we don’t know what happened with it. We went to collect one at a different store on the 18th of May.
Japan has gotten terribly hot and humid, so when our "work" is done, we want to go to Europe - Zurich, Paris or London - we'll be in one of those places.
Police you did well. Continue with your hard work. Not even Sherlock Holmes could solve this case. If you read The Fiend with 20 faces, you will learn a lot.
"The police's "European Tour"
"Let's go to Europe to catch the Monster with 21 Faces"!
"Let's bring Glicos Pocky - the traveler's friend!"
"Delicious Glico products - we're eating them too!"
Monster with 21 Faces
I will be back next year in January.

On June 26th 1984 a letter arrives at Mainichi, Sankei, and Yomiuri Newspapers. In the envelope of Sankei's letter is a copy of Katsuhisas tape.

Postmarked in Kyoto the day before between 6pm and midnight, the envelope listed the sender as The Monster with 21 Faces.
