   Not if they know they are a suspect and know anything about modern   
   forensic document analysis. If you are sure you are not being followed   
   and can get access to a computer then I would suggest that you would be   
   safer using email than post if you wanted to be a whistleblower.

   Yes they do, they live under bridges......

   Actually, I'd tend to disagree with that. It's like saying that nobdy   
   takes what comes in an unsigned note seriously and law enforcement   
   organizations do that all the time.
