Isn't this the setup for that show on TV: "Numbers" Maths guy helps to solve crimes.

Interesting read though...

Cheers,

I have my doubts if this is real.

Probably it says: If you can read this, you might just be the person we are looking for. If you are interested in a career with the FBI call 555-555323.

There was a piece on the main UK radio news show about it this morning.

It's real, but it doesn't appear to cryptography, just shorthand. DE71 would be December 1971, for instance. Makes it a lot harder to solve.
