FINAL DISPOSITION


Note: Patrick's birthday is April 25. Attached to this form was a birthday card still in the envelope. There is a return address on the outside of the envelope. Also written on the envelope is a note stating that collector cards, a card, and money order were included. The card itself had kanji and in English on the side is the word auspicious. On the inside of the card is written "Patrick... Happy Birthday!" Several words are scratched out and I can't make out what it used to say. Then underneath it says "No words. Busy, busy time 'til mid May. Promise you a Tone in response. Cruz". And there is an inmate banking receipt which shows that Cruz Sanchez sent Patrick $10.00. Also attached to the form was a note from Patrick regarding the situation which reads "On 4/26/06: Mail was rejected because it contained "collector cards". (These cards were actually Religious information on Hinduism) *I was never notified of the existence of a money order until I received the Birthday card, which I signed to have returned to sender, with all contents. The mail room claimed, later, that the cards were "Tarot Cards" (Not True). I have a couple of examples of these cards in my possession.
