RE: Monkey Problem

Hello Colonel CJ Peters,

I hope you are doing well and having a pleasant day. I, Bill Volt, have been examining
the monkeys here at the Reston Monkey House. I am sure that we have found a
filovirus in our monkeys. On October 4th we received 100 wild monkeys from the
Philippines. Two of the monkeys showed up dead upon arrival. The remaining 98
monkeys were placed in twelve holding rooms. After a few weeks of having the
monkeys here, I noticed a large number of new monkeys dying. The Majority of deaths
have occurred in room H. I also noticed that the heating and air-handling system in the
monkey house is malfunctioning. One of my consulting Veterinarians had taken the
opportunity to open up one of the monkeys and had discovered that these monkeys are
dying from an unidentified virus.

Thank you for considering my points regarding the virus in the monkeys here at the
Reston Monkey House. Please let me know of any recommendations you may have or
if you would like to come and take a looks for yourself.

Best Regards,
Bill Volt
Manager at Reston Monkey House.
