I’m just going to call “hoax” on this one right now.
Two Fitchburg families were the targets of racist hate mail this week. Becky Ketarkus posted a photograph of a handwritten letter on Facebook Tuesday. Ketarkus’ neighbor, who she identifies as “an adult adoptee from India,” found the letter in her mailbox.

The Fitchburg Police Department reported it received several calls from the media and community members about the letter and they plan to investigate. The recipient has not filed a police report.
Define “hoax”. Hoax as in they perpetrated it themselves for attention?
