The fax sent to Marty McFly after he was "terminated" by Mr. Fujitsu.
CusCo was a company in Hill Valley in 2015, which was located at 11249 Business Center Road and had the zip code (or, possibly, the telephone number, according to one theory) 95420-4345. Ito T. Fujitsu was a supervisor at the plant, with Marty McFly and Douglas J. Needles working for him.
Needles called Marty on the video telephone to perform an illegal action that would turn profit for him, but "The Jitz" was monitoring the scan and subsequently fired — or "terminated" — Marty from his job, sending a fax with the words "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" on company letterhead.
When his mother saw the fax that Fujitsu sent, Marty tried to claim it was a joke.
When Marty ended up not getting hit with the Rolls-Royce in 1985, the words "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" vanished from the copy of the fax Jennifer took from one of the fax machines in the McFly residence in 2015.
