Intro
Hello. My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane Albuquerque New Mexico 87104.
I have recently been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and, in spite of my family's qualms, became involved in the meth business. I created the purest product North America has ever seen - and in hindsight, I didn't do it for my family. I did it for myself. I was good at it. I enjoyed it.
