Rick,

First, Merry Christmas. I made that pipe riddle up myself! I hope you enjoyed it. I knew this train was going to be a risk. C'est la vie.

Let's set the record straight: they're going to call it a suicide, or a heart attack, or some other nonsense. We both know I'm made of stronger stuff than that! I've likely found a way to communicate that to you directly. I need you to first crack that and get word to the authorities.

Next is the order of my company. You probably recognize the family cryptex. I took the liberty of tampering with it to reset the mechanism. I was going to hand it over myself when the time came, but... well, here we are (sorry, no freebies). My will is inside and I need you to use that big brain of yours to crack it open so one of those damn vultures doesn't destroy my legacy. You shouldn't have a problem with it.

And now the matter of my VERY LIKELY AND ANNOYING MURDER. Like I said, I saw this coming and took a few precautions. If I know your daughter she's already got more information in your mailbox. I always liked her.

We've only got one life. Make the most of it.
