you've never been to china or japan have you? it's true, there is great tension between the people and china and japan. The Chinese dispises the japanese for the atrocities during WW2 while the Japanese look down on the Chinese, to them, the Chinese is a bunch of peasants.
the worst is that till this day the japanese still denies the history, they omit the dark chapter in text books, and tell people that they were doing china a favor by cleansing the population.
my conjecture is that the doc knows something, the sender obviously expects the receiver to understand the message.
Ever read Sherlock Holmes, the sign of the four?
one more thing, the fact that the letters are addressed to both the doc and his wife intrigues me, what does his wife have to with it.
i just realized that we use some of the chinese characters in korean.
so for example the word for 4 is pronounce sah and death is sah.
cool.

cool.
the korean language is a distinctly different language from chinese, BUT a lot of the words are rooted in chinese characters, sah being an example.
Of course you'd check to see if the gameboard had been cut, right? I mean, if the library is still intact on the gameboard, it wasn't them.... unless they had multiple gameboards.
Although, if it were me, I'd dispose of the evidence.
Is there tracking information on the bottom of the envelope? The post office could find out (although probably won't tell *you*, but will the authorities) what PO location the envelope was sent from etc based on the bar code.
Going out on a HUGE stretch, bigger than anyone else I've read thus far (replying as I read the thread, so sorry if I've got multiple posts in consecutive order):
The runic equivalent of 4 is Ansuz - The Messenger Rune (ironic, no?). Here's the definitions of what it's supposed to mean, if you believe the stuff (I like it for entertainment value, not a believer):
From http://www.runemaker.com/futhark/ansuz.shtml
Rather interesting, it being the rune representing communication and messages, and also that, when converse as the 4 on the letter was, meant hidden messages. Maybe I'm looking too far into it, although there sure *are* a lot of coincidences

This is scary shite. I'd call the cops(like any other sain human). I want to know if the doctor is a part of a family of 4, too.
This thread is getting long so I may have missed this, but were there any postmarks/cancellations with time, date and location the the letters were sent from? Were all of the envelopes and postage stamps the same?

About the '4' thing, when I was in Korea a couple years back, the elevator buttons would be labeled '1, 2, 3, F, 5, 6 ... ect." Pretty trippy imo. heh.
Good lord!
As a security professional, I would urge you to ask your mom have the doc go to the cops. It doesnt hurt anything if he does, it can't do anything but help the situation.

LeetestUnleet, this information about runes is interesting. were you familiar with it before this thread, or you just happened to look after reading this?
I'm a little familiar with it before this thread. I play a character in the LARP I play (linked in sig) who is a superstitious, self-proclaimed "magic" creature, who believes he can tell fortunes (there's a skill that allows him to get one piece of information from the GM, and I RP it with my home-made Rune deck)

Sorry! My internet has been out since Sunday. The cable line to our house got cut, and they just installed a temporary line today while I was at school. Anyways, I have a good update for ya'll! My mom's work seems to be all over this, and are planning on calling the authorities after asking a few people in the office if they are just playing a joke.
Anyways, the fourth letter came. It was four scanned pictures of women. The doc's wife didn't elaborate much, they they seemed pretty random, one was of a woman with a basket of flowers on her head.
But here is the better part. It seems that the head doctor of the practice, who left about a year ago, is also getting these letters. He got the 4 of spades and a cut out of the kitchen from the game clue.
Also, the 4 letters the doctor and his wife have been getting have all been from different locations. The first one was from Portland, the second from South Portland, the third from Scarborough, and the fourth from Yarmouth. For those who live in Maine, this will make sense. For those who don't, just know that they are around 20 miles of eachother...
Anyways, that is where this stands now!

So maybe he's been cheap, yet lucky, and has no clue?
Yeah, this reply is worthless
hahahahahahahahhahaha
