Can you decipher this cipher?

Anonymous Coward writes "It contains 340 cryptic characters. To this day it has never been solved and the case has been closed since April 2004. The FBI and the goverment's best code breakers have been unable to solve this cipher. The unsolved cipher is much more complex and harder then the first one which was deciphered by a high school teacher back in 1969."
