More details on the letter. Interesting to note the sniper wants money but gives authorities unrealistic amount of time to find it before he kills again. Seems the killers aren't really interested in stopping, just adding more confusion to the mix.

Details of Apparent Sniper Message Leaked to Media
foxnews.com

Someone claiming to be the sniper has called police at
least twice, the New York Post reported, the first time
alerting police to the message found at the Ashland, Va.,
shooting scene. This message was a three-page letter
tacked to a tree behind the Ponderosa steak house that the
victim was leaving, the paper reported.

A senior law enforcement official speaking to The
Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the message
suggested the killer wants several million dollars.

Two other law enforcement sources told the AP the letter
also contained information that police interpreted to be a
vague threat to children. One of the sources, who also
spoke on condition of anonymity, said the letter
was "lengthy."

The letter demanded money and warned that the attacks
would resume unless police met a specified deadline,

the New York Post and New York Daily News added.

Sources told the New York Post that the money demand led
them to believe that terrorists were not involved. ABC News
reported that the deadline had passed by the time the FBI
opened the letter.
