COUNTRY: SPAIN
Addressed to Mr Juan Aguirre Ceberio
With the request not to make copies or read it to your brothers, except for the paragraph devoted to your deceased Brother Franco Muela Pedrada
Dear Mr Juan Aguirre Ceberio
My name is uhooa 5, son of uhooa 2, and I come from OIYIA UMMO. I am therefore a brother of other humans who wrote you letters from Ummo.
From the enclosed letter you will be able to see the tribulation caused to us, not by those apocryphal letters, for as regards our identity many missives have been forged, sometimes by mere pranksters, at other times by investigators eager to penetrate more fully the enigma of our identity.
What has grieved us is the conversations picked up through the telephone channel between your brother Rafael Farriols Calvo and your other brother Jorge Barrenechea, which are a sign of intense friction and internal dissension among brothers and friends of yours.
We ask you, Mr Aguirre Ceberio, in your noble condition as a doctor, to intercede to soften those intimate resentments. That is all we ask of you on this occasion. You know well that we have never abused your kindness by demanding favours or privileges of you. This time we do wish to do so, begging you, in order to lessen our sadness and feeling of guilt, to reduce the internal dissensions among the OEMII who form that group of brothers of yours who study the subject of our OIYIA UMMO.
We shall beg another important thing of you, and that is that you convey to your sister María Teresa Quesada our sorrow at the death of that good and very intelligent man who in his earthly life was called Franco MUELA PEDRADA. We know that this YIIE suffered a great deal. She should reflect that her husband suffered from a certain mental disturbance and was not to blame for his conduct, which he himself believed to be honest. His overflowing intelligence, mixed with that psycho-organic picture, quite often led him to excesses that made everyone suffer. We were not on OIYIA EARTH (GAA) when his death occurred, and afterwards, by order of our superiors, we could not get in touch with you. You must not, therefore, interpret our silence as lack of affection.
We also wish to address a request to you. When, on our arrival in the country of Spain, we began to send several letters to brothers of yours (a university professor, a civil servant, a brother of yours who loved the UFO phenomenon, a police superintendent...), all the texts were vocalised as we dictated them to a typist brother of yours.
That same brother made carbon copies, and we ourselves later photographed many of those letters. We therefore possess the recordings of almost all the messages (acoustic recordings), and to a large extent the graphic ones, but unfortunately there are gaps in the graphic reproduction. Those were days of unease about our existence on EARTH. Our UULUUEWAA made your typist brother nervous (these are small spherules containing detectors to capture information, which flutter about like insects. If their presence is noticed, they look like blowflies flying in a regular and very precise way), and we gave up photographing some of those typed sheets since, after all, we possessed at least their phonic content.
We know how difficult it is to recover the enormous mass of unrecorded graphic and typed information. (To date we have offered the humans of Earth one hundred and seventy thousand three hundred and eighty-five written pages, of which approximately one fortieth are originals and the rest copies.) Bear in mind that in the first stage we only made one or two copies, which we used to give to typists in some countries, some of whom broke off their relations with us, or to third parties who surely destroyed those documents.
Now time has passed, and the relations of that period are History, which we wish to exhibit in our OFUOOBAA halls (museums). We wish to make a request of you. Would you be so kind as to provide us with a photostatic reproduction of the documents we have sent you? If we turn to you, it is because we have picked up telephone conversations on your line in which the possibility of obtaining them was mentioned. We do not mind if they include many of the sheets of which we have carbon copies. Of course we do not wish to be a burden, and we would ask you to tell us the cost of the reproduction.
A brother or sister of yours of nationality X would go to collect them at your home. We only beg you not to try to disturb this person with your questions, since they would cause him a serious upset, as he is a mere intermediary who does not know us personally and would merely forward it to a hotel.
We do not know whether the request to offer you payment for this service may humiliate you. If so, set the conditions yourselves. If it is in our power to satisfy you, we would do so.
That sister or brother of yours will telephone you. If you know the amount and, as is normal, wish to grant our request to allow us to pay, say so, and this person would get that sum to you whenever you wish.
[Handwritten note: «12/3/87»]
Afterwards we would set the date for collecting the photocopied material.
Tell us whether this request can be granted. We would not be offended if we received a refusal, since we would infer from it that there are powerful reasons for denying our request.
We would also like to obtain the handwritten sentence dedicated to us by each of the persons listed in another letter we sent you. We shall send them to our OYIAA UMMO for the Museum Archive, accompanied by the image we possess of each of these Oemii (that is the reason why we do not also ask you for a photograph, since we capture their whole image stereographically, clothed and naked).
I ask you not to tell your friends how we are probably going to obtain all this information, for we know that spurious investigators would grasp the intention and spy in order to locate the messenger, causing him (albeit fruitlessly) the troubles that are easy to guess.
There remains, Mr Juan Aguirre Ceberio, one recommendation. Do not make a copy of this letter, although you may read it to your friends Jorge Barrenechea and Rafael Farriols Calvo, and read the paragraph concerned, or photocopy it, for its recipient and her noble children.
Some dissemination of the other letters is inevitable. Whether or not it is limited to the persons named by us determines whether we continue to send you messages. If the dissemination continues to be wide, we shall cut off the contact.
Receive, Sir, our disinterested and modest greeting, with wishes of Peace to the dear family around you.
[Signature in Ummite characters]
Two criteria will help to distinguish authentic letters from apocryphal ones: the use of the typeface of the original Hispano Olivetti Studio 46 machine with which my brothers dictated the letters to Fernando Sesma Manzano, and the inclusion of a strip of special yellow paper, hard for would-be impostors to obtain.
