FORKS — Embattled Mayor Nedra Reed has received a letter with heavy religious overtones and containing a large framing nail.
The computer-printed letter said:
For furthering the cause of Satan and destroying the cause of Christ
By supporting sexual harassment and pornography
For protecting and supporting moral and spiritual bankruptcy
For each and every lie you tell and support
For the hypocrite you are
Here’s your nail.
Reed received the letter at Forks City Hall on Thursday.
“I just ripped open the envelope, and out fell the nail, and I read what was in it.”
The envelope containing the message and the nail bore seven 41-cent stamps — more postage than necessary — and was postmarked “Tacoma-Olympia.”
The postmark, however, was inconclusive as to where the letter was mailed because all mail on the North Olympic Peninsula is sent to Tacoma/Olympia, postmarked there, and returned for delivery.
The postmark’s date was indistinct but appeared to have been stamped on Tuesday.
The letter’s hand-printed return address was only “A of L.”
