Dear Mr. O’Reilly,
When Victor Norman Jones was formally charged with rape in the first degree, he had already fled the jurisdiction to avoid prosecution. There is an organization in our county called “Stokes County Victims Rights Advocates” who routinely offer rewards for the apprehension of suspected felons. In this case the fee amounted to One thousand, five hundred dollars.
It is my understanding that you single-handedly apprehended this suspect and turned him over to your local sheriff. I am therefore proud to enclose a check made to you in the amount stated. I sincerely commend you for your courage and tenacity in getting this suspect behind bars.
Use the funds in good health.
Sincerely,
