Dear boss, I keep on hearing that the police have caught me but they won't fix me just yet I have laughed when they looked so clever and talk about being on the right track That joke about leather apron gave me real fits I am down on whores and I shan't quit ripping them till I do get buckled grand work the last job was I have the lady no time to squeal And I want to start again you will soon learn of me with my funny little games I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job To write with but it went thick like glue and I can't use it Red ink is fit enough I hope ha ha the next job I do I shall clip the ladies ears off and send them to police officers just for jolly Wouldn't you? Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work then give it out straight my knives so nice and sharp I want to get back to work right away if I get a chance Good luck! Yours truly, Jack the Ripper Don't mind me given the trade name
