You will need to have opened both the poker chip envelope and the playing card envelope before you can solve this. BUT remember not to open them until instructed to do so.
Convert the letters on the small note to numbers following the standard A is 1, Bis 2, C is 3. This is hinted at when Tony mentions that Y and H equals 33 (25+8)and E and D equals 9 (5+4). Now find the sum of the rest of the letters on the small note.
Now use the black card with the snakes. You will find a number at the tail of the snake and then you will need to follow it to the head. Start with the first column on the small note and work your way down using the numbers you got. So, 33gives you F on the snake card. And 9 would give you O. Follow this pattern to get the rest of the numbers.
