A Draft Dodger, or the Zodiac Killer?

Just when I thought i had exhausted all hopes of obtaining any more previously unreleased questioned documents from the Zodiac case, I was pleasantly surprised when I found a letter in my mailbox from the Department of Justice. The mailing contained a previously unreleased document that I had last requested several months ago, after not successfully receiving it in the past. The letter/postcard had been postmarked from the San Francisco Bay area, and mailed to the Rochester, NY Draft Board in March, 1968.

The letter itself was filled with misspelled words, references to using drugs, and odd drawings. Like many of Zodiac's mailings, the document included two stamps. Not much is known about this letter, who wrote it, or how & why it made it's way into questioned Zodiac case documents, especially because it was authored and mailed to the Draft Board in March, 1968 Nine months before the first confirmed Zodiac murders, and almost a year and a half before the first confirmed letter written by Zodiac was received by the press.

So far, opinions and thoughts about the letter are mixed, some similarities noted as well as some differences too.
