The contents of these letters are persons venting their frustrations at the recent break and enters in Cowra. Police are asking for anyone who receives one of these letters to report it to police.
Police say that it is unhealthy to have letters circulating that appear to target a certain group of the community, and that it is not helpful.
One letter has already caused unnecessary distress to a recipient who is an indigenous elder and the distress is unwarranted.
