Found near Marceline Jones' body was a typewritten note, dated November 18, 1978, signed by Marceline and witnessed by Moore and [[Maria Katsaris]], stating:

{{Blockquote|I, Marceline Jones, leave all bank assets in my name to the Communist Party of the USSR. The above bank accounts are located in the [[Scotiabank|Bank of Nova Scotia]] in [[Nassau, Bahamas]].

Please be sure that these assets do get to the USSR. I especially request that none of these are allowed to get into the hands of my adopted daughter, Suzanne Jones Cartmell.

For anyone who finds this letter, please honor this request as it is most important to myself and my husband James W. Jones.<ref>[http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/letter_fromMarceline.pdf "Letter from Marceline Jones."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205014650/http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/letter_fromMarceline.pdf|date=5 February 2015}} ''Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple''.

Moore also left a note, which in part stated: "I am at a point right now so embittered against the world that I don't know why I am writing this. Someone who finds it will believe I am crazy or believe in the barbed wire that does NOT exist in Jonestown." The last line, "We died because you would not let us live in peace," is written in different color ink. No other specific reference is made to the events of the day. Moore also wrote, "JONESTOWN{{snd}}the most peaceful, loving community that ever existed."<ref name="moore"/>

In addition, she stated, "JIM JONES{{snd}}the one who made this paradise possible{{snd}}much to the contrary of the lies stated about Jim Jones being a power-hungry sadistic, mean person who thought he was God{{snd}}of all things." And "His hatred of racism, sexism, elitism, and mainly classism, is what prompted him to make a new world for the people{{snd}}a paradise in the jungle. The children loved it. So did everyone else."<ref name="moore">[http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=13938 "Last Words – Annie Moore."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205021415/http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=13938|date=February 5, 2015}} ''Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple''.
