Hmmm - looks to me like we're dealing with a cereal trouble-maker.

We have also received similar strange letters, usually with a Tonbridge,
Kent, postmark and always written on the reverse of a piece of card from a
cereal packet.

			How curious.  We've had one identical, on brown
paper, received in April this year.  It's filed in our comments system.

				Subject: Reading Can Seriously Damage Your
Health

				Hello all,

				 

				An odd question this.  Today we recived
through the post a letter on which our address was just about correct
(enough, obviously, to get here).  It was sent from Gatwick, and inside the
envelope was nothing but a piece of card cut from a cereal box - it looks
like 'All Bran'.  On the back of the card is written, in block capital
letters:

				You should of course be circumspect in
adding to that long line of books purporting or implying that "investment in
shares" is a secure hedge against inflation.

				 

				Beneath this, in big block capital red
letters is says:

				Reading can seriously damage your health

				 

				Now, while this is in its own little way
quite amusing, its also slightly strange and has got a couple of the staff
here a little worried, and I just wondered if any other libraries had
recieved such enigmatic mail like our letter?  Anyone?

				 

				Cheers,
