NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A letter written 10 years ago by convicted Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski that condemns stealing from stockholders could play a role in determining the length of his sentence, according to a news report released Thursday.

Prosecutors in the trial of Kozlowski, who was convicted last week on charges that he pocketed in excess of $150 million dollars from Tyco, say they may use the letter during their sentencing recommendation for the former exec, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Kozlowski's 1995 letter, written to a Houston sentencing official over the trial of Girish P. Shah, recommended that the former assistant controller at Tyco "be sentenced to incarceration for a maximum term," and stated that stealing from a company is "a particularly egregious crime."

Limbaugh's next: Drug Abuse
"And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs,
using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good
because we know what happens to people in societies and
neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if
people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought
to be accused and they ought to be convicted and
they ought to be sent up."

"When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia
(former Grateful Dead guitarist) destroyed his life on
drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike
figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."

"I bet you still love this drug
addicted, law-breaking drug freek. Ever hear of 'just
say no' or how by buying drugs you are supporting
Osama?"

Then GWB.

2. Act II, Scene II

KING HENRY V 
The mercy that was quick in us but late,
By your own counsel is suppress'd and kill'd:
You must not dare, for shame, to talk of mercy;
For your own reasons turn into your bosoms,
As dogs upon their masters, worrying you.
