The Zodiac Killer’s 148 Character Cipher (Z 148)

We found this so called "Forgotten Zodiac Killer Letter & Cipher" on Ed Neil's website, TheZodiacFiles.com. The letter and cipher had been sent to San Francisco Chronicle from Fairfield, California in 1971.
The Z 148 cipher was written at the top of the letter, followed by the below text [with errors included]. We are not certain what the second and third letter of the first word stand for. We assume that these letters most probably represent the letter “L”, although the letter “L” has been drawn differently in the text that followed:

"I LL DO IT TO BECAUSE I DONE IT 21 TIMES I CANT STOP BECAUSE EACH THAT I KILL MAKES IT WORSE AND I MUST KILL MORE MAN IS THE MOST PRIZED GAME I LL NERVER GIVE MY NAME BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND NEXT TIME I WILL SEND A PATCH OF HUMAN SKIN IF THEIR IS SOME LEFT OVER"

The cipher was followed by the Zodiac Killer’s crosshair symbol. Please click here to see a copy of the original ‘Forgotten Zodiac Killer Letter & Cipher’.
There is not much that we know about this possible Zodiac letter and cipher other than that apparently it had been considered as probably non-authentic. We thought that anyway it might be of general interest to know what the cipher actually contains before drawing such conclusion. Therefore, we attempted to crack the cipher and succeeded. Even nearly 40 years after the cipher had been written it sent shivers down our spines when we read the message that it contains.
