Hey everyone, Im going to jump right into this.
To fill you in, this is regarding a suspicious mail my sister received some days ago, from a stranger who has not identified themself. Now, for information on this refer to the end of this post.
My sister received a mail some time ago, which included a makeup vallet/bag, Wicked Weasel bikini set and a short letter.
There was no information as to who sent this package. The total cost, this is a guess, would be about 100 USD, including postage and cost for bikini + makeup bag.
The letter, in short, talks about a trip without being specific. (My sister is going to Africa and Thailand for 2 months.) It describes her as if the sender knows her personally. It is poorly written as if, it had been thrown through a translator or was written by some1 who doesn't have danish as a first language.
Now this led her (and me) to believe that this might be a scam letter or a special form of advertisement. However...
Yesterday she receives an email after posting about this incident on the well known page, Facebook. The person who sent the package must have been able to see her status on Facebook, as he refers to it in this mail. (The whole mail can be found below)
Now, my sister started to get afraid and was thinking that she had a stalker. She left for Africa this morning after a rather bad night.
To offer my sister some comfort I told her not to worry, and let me see if I could find out where this email came from, and if she had anything to worry about at all.
We all know there are no people who does something without intentions. My sister has been upset about this, suspecting that she would either receive a bill for something that she never ordered or that she had a stalker. The latter being alot worse ofcourse.
So now I turn to you. I ask you for help on this matter, either how to find out who this person is, or for some comforting words to reassure my sister that nothing bad is going to happen because of this mail.
Information:
Sister is going on a 2 month trip, she has shared this across facebook. She is very active on facebook.
Sister received a package from a mysterious person. No information is known about this person.
The package contained: Make-up vallet/bag + a Wicked Weasel bikini set + short letter.
The letter. To sum it up, it is very poorly written, it wishes my sister a good trip and refers to the package's items as matching her style as a "Smart-girl-from--with-a-good-look".
She then receives an email:
I sent this through Google Translator.
Most of what is incomprehensible, is also so in danish.
The person uses the word Noia which means Paranoid.
.. I would not let egtl hear further from me, but I saw you
got a little Noia and that bikini did not fit.
Both I am very sorry! It was certainly not meant to give
you Noia, but while I was selvf. well aware that it would look right
mysterious out with an anonymous package, then I can simply not run
risk by allowing me to know. I can not even tell you
why it is risky to send you anything - but believe me when I
says the risk is entirely on my side, not yours.
Ang size of the bikini - it was however too bad, I was otherwise
sure, it was fairly true. Now I do not know how badly
fit, and I do not know if you ever want it, but
if it really does not fit and you really want it, so
themselves, so can I in a different size. It would of course
be a little silly to just having it lying if actually likes
it.
Finally: I'm well aware that this is a rather presumptuous
way to communicate, so I promise, unless you write with
questions or ask to have the infamous bikini in different size
you do not hear from me again. And the reason I even sent you
The gift is actually the one I wrote the original letter. The only thing I
ask is that you are a little discreet about that I have written - of the same
reasons I mentioned earlier.
Once again, good trip!
WoT, soz.
If any1 has any ideas as to how to put my sisters mind at ease, then any help would be usefull.
Thank you for taking time to read about this, and please point of if I am missing any information that could be useful to any1.

Oh god, the way you word things.
She received an
e-mail
, not
a package
. The e-mail had
attachments
. The attachments were
images of
a make-up set / bikini.
From the way you word things, i am not sure:
Whether the
text message
that you post was
an attachment
, as in, a .txt file or something, or if it was written
in the body of the email
. It probably does not matter, but text files can contain viruses.
What is your native language, what is the language the message is in.
Anyway, first of all, she should check her facebook safety settings. It is possible that some people are abusing the new profile system of Facebook, which might have somehow revealed some information about people (you MAY have your e-mail shown in your facebook account), and this is now used by spam bots.
Lemme ask. The e-mail she received this thing to. Is it the same e-mail she has attached to her FB account?
edit: Or did she actually receive a package with the marchandise you mention? Jeez, could you be any more hazy..

Sounds like they were just trying to sell her something before she left for her trip.

I will check this, thank you.
Edit:
It is infact the mail from the Facebook account that she received the suspicious mail on. Also I have access to the gmail to see if I could get anything from the head of the email. I am not sure wether the email is shown for every1, as we are related and "friends".

Danish, wish I think would be even harder to understand than the message I copied here.

It was in the body.
Sounds like they were just trying to sell her something before she left for her trip.
I was thinking this too, however the actual bikini set + makeup bag came to our house without anything else than a poorly written letter. No bills, no adresses, no nothing. There was no way to pay "them" for it.

Wow. She actually got a package with the things. This totally changes the way i have read your first post.
So, first an actual mail package is delivered, with letter + stuff.
Then she says something on facebook.
Then she receives an email... which says that the person did not want to scare her, that the person is putting himself into a risky situation by sending those things to her, that the person hopes the items are of correct size, and that the reason for sending those items has been already stated in the first letter.
Weird stuff. Might be a prank. You also didn't say what was in the first letter, so yeah.
edit: I wonder what her safety settings are on Facebook. Can anyone see her statuses, or only her friends? That could narrow the amount of suspects.

I was just looking for said letter, I'll put it here when I got it.
And yea, I've considered that it might just be a prank, but it seems to me that its a bit too "good".

Just for a little more insight on why exactly it's risky for the sender to send those things to your sister- how old is she? If she's at or beyond the age of consent, does she have a job?

She is 19, and she's in the middle of her education. My guess is that it is one of her old boyfriends perhaps, or a friends dad, but it just seems far out no matter how I look at it.
Also, first letter: This one little thing for traveling and summer. It is intended solely as a gift and you get the part because it can help you give the-nice-girl-from--style a kick in the back (which you already are well under way), because part you have radiance and appearance to wear it.
Do you have further questions or comments you may want. send them on in.vita.experior @ gmail.com, but the above explains some genuine gift very well. :)
Bon Voyage!
This to me seems like a bad try at sounding like some advertisement or #$%^.

Or a professor at her university. Or maybe just some shy dude she has class with(though I don't know why it would be risky for him to send things).
I don't want to be an alarmist, but being that it seems that there's no advertisement at all, beyond the gifts- it's coming off as a stalker of some kind in my view. Then again, being that the sender included an e-mail address where he could be reached, maybe it's not as bad as that.
I do know that it's pretty goddamn creepy, whatever it does turn out to be.
