“Write a Letter to a Mass Murderer”

A 2003 humor book titled “This Book Will Change Your Life” instructed readers to write a letter to a “mass murderer.” Kaczynski was on the book’s list of suggested killers that included Charles Manson, David Berkowitz (the “Son of Sam”) and “Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez.” Kaczynski received more than 100 letters and catalogued them all.

MR. KACZYNSKI,

This is a short note to say Godspeed to you ... and I hope you receive everything that is coming to you!

Cheers!

Dear Theodore,

Do you have to shave in prison? If no I think you should keep the beard. Just look at what it did for Abe Lincoln.
