According to encyclopedias, writing is a sign system of speech fixation, which allows using descriptive elements to transmit speech information at a distance. However, such information is not always enough, however, and often a legitimate question arises as to how to determine the addressee of a particular message.
Instruction manual
1
If you received an anonymous message, first examine the envelope and stamps. There are envelopes and stamps of limited editions sold in certain post offices. This information will be needed to determine in what area the sender can live, because purchases of this type are usually made in the place nearest to the house.
2
Pay attention to special postal service tags. These include a stamp on which the date of receipt of the letter to the department and the number of the department itself is indicated. As practice shows, anonymous letters are also sent to the nearest post office from the sender's place of residence.
3
Carefully study the vocabulary of the received message. Forensic philologists note that an anonymous letter written in a state of intense expression can be the key to unraveling any secret. In the letter, dialecticisms, special language constructions and much more can be used. For example, the design “with my mother” instead of “with my mother” indicates a native of the Western Urals, and the use of apostrophes instead of hard or soft signs indicates a resident of the Ukrainian-speaking region like the Stavropol Territory.
4
Check the text for literacy. Typical grammatical errors can tell about the age, social status and nationality of the author of the message. Remember that an illiterate person writes as he hears, which means he copies his dialect, dialect or accent. So, an illiterate Buryat will never write the word "apelsin".
5
If the message is not printed on the printer, armed with any handwriting guide (not to be confused with graphology!), You can conduct a preventive text analysis, noting for yourself the characteristic features of the handwriting.
6
Having analyzed all the data obtained, it is necessary to determine the area of the possible location of the sender of the letter. Perhaps this is one of your friends or acquaintances.
7
The collected facts will help you establish the identity of the sender of "anonymous letters", but with the assistance of specialists you will also have legally acceptable evidence.
Useful advice
If necessary, you should use a psychological technique, sometimes called a "bucket of water." If you suspect someone that it was he who sent you the letter, tell him directly in the eye. Without giving him a chance to justify himself or come up with an excuse, give him all the charges, listing the facts you have obtained in the above paragraphs and meaningless arguments. Often, the suspect surrenders and confesses to the deed, not withstanding psychological pressure.
