Dear sir:

You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has 
accompanied the commencement of an enterprise 
which you have regarded with such evil 
forebodings.

Agent Mulder has taken up offices in the 
basement of the J. Edgar Hoover Building for 
the purpose of housing the newly formed X-Files 
Division of the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation.  In the few days since this 
operation was set into motion, no primeval 
tsunamis have leveled the city, nor was the 
Washington headquarters eradicated by a freak 
bolt of lightning.  The sole casualty has been 
the loss of a secondary copy room, from which 
Agent Henderson and his team will soon recover.  
In fact, Agent Mulder has already achieved 
closure on one particularly troublesome case.

You asked to be informed in the event that such 
an eventuality, against which you spoke most 
eloquently last month, should come to pass.  
Consider this memo your official notice.  I 
sincerely hope that the misgivings you 
expressed will be allayed with celerity.

Your servant,

Walter S. Skinner
Assistant Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
United States of America
