Weird letter received

[Thegirlthatwanted2begod]

DH received this letter in the post today in a used NHS envelope that was stuck down with sellotape. Both of us are stumped to why it's been sent as I've googled and Mankind doesn't look to be part of NHS and the number is correct but the message on the letter has freaked us out,

has anyone ever had anything similar to this?

Search on herelaquila, had a near exact situation a few months ago, the writer didnt refer to the johos then either but its been all over the internet

I honestly think it's a completely random letter from someone that just isn't very well. You clearly have a strong marriage with no cheating husband. Although everyone is understandably trying to find a logical reason for the letter, if someone isn't in their right mind there won't be a reason for it that is comprehensible or that makes sense (other than in the altered mind of the unwell person that sent it).

Regarding the NHS envelope, I bet many people have received letters regarding their vaccinations using this envelope. I was sent one for my second jab. Also I receive my specialist's results using these envelopes. So could be someone just reusing one they received themselves. But who knows.

It does seem odd that your DH works for the NHS and the letter was sent in an NHS envelope. I also think it’s likely whoever sent it does know your DH’s full name but are trying to give the impression they do not.

I would report to the police and keep hold of the letter just to be on the safe side.

Sorry OP just saw you posted a pic of the envelope with no date. Sorry, I’m behind!
Deffo feels like a link to his place of work to me. If he’s very helpful to everyone sometimes this could be misconstrued. It’s a strange piece of communication though. Long shot and I’m probably over-thinking,..I’m wondering if it’s coming from a male colleague? who has been abused and its a form of projection. Don’t know why that’s coming to mind but thought I’d put it out there. Sorry conscious it’s wildly speculative!

@JovialNickname

That's a really good point. Writing a letter like this isn't the logical conclusion to anything other than an unpleasant fantasy (that OP abuses her husband and he's had an affair), so, if the fantasy isn't true, the explanation can't make sense.

It’s not weird is it? Someone who knows your husband has reached out to him asking him to leave you.

How does this person know him and why does this person think you are abusive. Either this person is ill or malicious or your husband has been up to no good and feeding this person lies about you.

It really isn’t weird. There is a sensible reason for why this person knows your husband’s name and where he lives. Equally there is a sensible reason for why this person think you are an abusive. They may be making this assumption off their own bat or they were led to believe you are.

I’m not an overly suspicious person but given the circumstances around this letter and what it says, I think your husband knows exactly who sent it. It is not a random act of insanity by some random person.

Check out the mankind initiative page on Facebook too - see if any of your Facebook friends has liked it.

Get a door camera, that envelope was delivered by hand.

They've chosen an envelope with Private and Confidential written very clearly, which makes me think that this is a person who feels that their message is genuine. If it was someone trying to cause problems in your marriage, they wouldn't be minimising the risk of you opening it. They'd actively want you to se it.

That's different from what I said before, but I've only just seen the envelope picture. They only wanted him to see the letter. There's no shortage of envelopes that don't say p&c right over the address box.

I think there are people out there who get a kick out of leaving odd, unsettling messages for others. A few years ago I got a note under my wiper from someone saying they had seen my “spiteful behaviour” and my daughter had seen it too. I don’t even have a daughter, my DCs are unmistakably boys, and I can’t recall doing anything spiteful at the time either. I ignored it but it’s not nice to be on the receiving end of this sort of thing.

Im not sure why he would but could your husband have sent it? Is he trying to tell you something? Thinks you're controlling? Just the fact that he asked you to open the letter while he went for a shower...

@Dontfencemein, the key difference between your situation and the OP’s is that the writer of the letter knows some facts that a random person wouldn’t - name, exactly where he lives, etc

Yes @BrozTito I'm sure you have but it won't be a cryptic letter like this sent in a tatty envelope. Believe it or not we have to follow strict guidelines. What would be the point of this type of letter?

Odd but I remember seeing something similarly weird stuck to my neighbours car (yes I’m nosy). It was 100% some weird wind uo

I would make the police aware, primarily to establish if there have been any other similar letters. I would also consider contacting Mankind to see if they are aware of anything similar.

I agree with this. Call the non emergency number and say we received this weird letter which is a bit disturbing and we're wondering if anyone else has reported something similar in the area? Also phone Mankind to say the letter had their details and if they're aware of anyone else receiving a similar letter.

It may not get you anywhere but they might also have some good advice for you on how to go forward. PP are right the text speak is very odd and the letter looks like it's been carried around for a while. It does seem there is a link to the NHS so somehow possibly through DH's job?

@SpringIsSprung1, interesting. I did wonder why he would not himself want to open a clearly odd looking envelope that did not have his flat number. From what OP said, he handed it to her thinking it was a certificate or some such. Strange that he did not clock that it did not look right.

I’m pretty sure my vaccine invite letter was in one of those envelopes.

I think I'd report it to the police OP. It might be nothing but it's quite unsettling...

@Thegirlthatwanted2begod

Is the paper the light brown recycled type? If so, most nhs trusts use that paper so for me that indicates it's internal at work.

The blue envelopes are what our COVID vaccine appointment letters have been sent in and also for specialist results- again, indicating internal.

If I was four husband, I'd be asking his information governance department to start an investigation to establish if any staff members have accessed his records to obtain an address, obviously this might not be someone from work but it sure points to it...

Your* not four

Report to the police? Has a crime been committed and with limited resources is that the best use of police (non-emergency or emergency) time?

What should OP tell the police the crime is? Someone hand delivered a letter addressed to my husband, the contents of which asks him to come back to them and leave me because I’m abusive.

What do you suppose the police’s response would be?

Not as weird as the letters I received.
