FYI...

No doubt that they all were written by the same person.

This is one mean homegrown sicko...

"Son of Sam" and Ted Kysinski come to mind...

Homegrown , because most terrorists with a foreign education reverse the month and date..,and do not refer to "4th Grade School".

Sorry buddy,
most home grown individuals don't use "all your base syntax".

Think I your jumping conclusions to.

[willyb_jr]

I'm no expert here, but the text on the two letters appears identical, not just similar.

[prisoner6]

Something kind of odd about letters 1 and 2 as pictured above. They were sent to different locations BUT they are EXACTLY the same. Compare the T's and A's and the general layout.

This would lead me to believe that one of the two is a copy. I'm guessing that letter 2 is a copy of letter 1.

So what's odd about that you ask? Would someone who is planning something like this make only 1 copy? The perp probably made a BUNCH of copies and either sent them out and we haven't heard about them, OR he might be hording them for later.

IMHO....Letter 1 (first shown) and letter 2 (2nd shown) are the same exact letter.

Can anyone see any difference with the exception of the left hand fold and the background color?

Explain please?

Different person wrote the Daschle note(than the Post and Brokaw notes).
Notice the periods at the end of the sentences(that the other 2 notes did not have).
Notice the Post/Brokaw letters, where the writer had problems with capital "A" and "T". The Daschle note does not have this.
Notice the incorrect spelling of "penacilin" in the Post/Brokaw notes.
Notice the lighter handwriting on the Post/Brokaw notes, compared to the darker(more pressure) on the Daschle note.

My theory: 2 people wrote these notes together, at the same time. Daschle note writer has spent more time in the US, than the Post/Brokaw note writer.

Yes... I believe they are xeroxed copies. But the paper dimensions look different, do you agree?

Also I posted these without looking for another posting that had pictures of the letters (my post has 1 extra view) but you may find the other thread interesting. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/554928/posts

``You can not stop us. We have this anthrax. You die now. Are you afraid? Death to America. Death to Israel. Allah is great.''

I believe we have one of the hijackers on tape saying "We have planes". Note the stylistic similarity with this note -- "We have the anthrax". This is not coincidence.

I conclude from this that the hijackers themselves wrote these notes -- and thus explains why Atta and others sought treatment for skin rashes and flu-like symptoms shortly before 9-11.

Most definitely.

I would guess that it was written on stationary sized to fit the small sized envelope, and then photocopied onto 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Letters 1 and 2 fit this bill. Letter 1 appears to be narrower paper that didn't require anything but the two horizontal folds to fit in the envelope. Letter 2 has the text offset to the left side, indicative of a full scale copy on larger paper. It also has some vertical folds which appear to be softer than the horizontal folds, which tell me they were done second--to make the paper fit the width of the envelope. Why is the (presumably 8-1/2 x 11) paper not taller, though? Did they cut off the white space at the bottom?

Based on the offset of the text, I think that letter 3 is a photocopy of some other as-of-yet-unlocated original. The bottom edge kind of looks uneven--perhaps indicating that the paper was cut. It also has the vertical folds, and the brown stain along the one horizontal crease indicates that the vertical folds came second.

So, where is the original of letter 3?

Nope, don't think so. Take a look at the capital G, in "Allah is Great", in each of the notes. Those Gs are the exact same style. Unusual to find that same G, it's a letter that can be styled many different ways.

Doubt! The first two letters are xerox copies. The letter to Daschle is written in a different handwriting with the end of every line dotted or ? Suggesting that it may have been an American writer. I think that there are two writers here.

[moodyskeptic]

My opinion? one writer, or a second guy standing to the side of the first writer trying carefully to copy. The init/cap format is curious and not common. They appear to be written by someone not familiar with the letter forms, and NOT written wrong handed.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Franklin Park is written on one of the envelopes. Believe there is a town named Franklin Lakes, Franklin or Franklin Parkin in Southwest NJ, near the area some of the investigation has been reportedly conducted.

Maybe whoever sent that one letter was thinking of that town.
