According to the encyclopedias, writing is a symbolic system for fixing speech, which makes it possible to transmit speech information at a distance with the help of descriptive elements. However, this information is not always enough, and often a natural question arises of how to determine the addressee of a particular message.
Instructions
Step 1
If you receive an anonymous message, first examine the envelope and stamps. There are limited edition envelopes and stamps sold at certain post offices. This information will be needed to determine in which area the sender can live, because purchases of this type are usually made in the place closest to home.
Step 2
Pay attention to the special labels of the postal service. These include the stamp, which indicates the date of receipt of the letter to the department and the number of the department itself. As practice shows, anonymous letters are also sent to the nearest post office from the sender's place of residence.
Step 3
Carefully study the vocabulary of the received message. Forensic philologists note that an anonymous letter, written in a state of strong expression, can be the key to solving any mystery. Dialectisms, special language constructions and much more can be used in writing. For example, the construction “at my mother's” instead of “at my mother's” indicates a native of the Western Urals, and the use of apostrophes instead of hard or soft signs indicates a resident of a Ukrainian-speaking region like the Stavropol Territory.
Step 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 that he copies his dialect, dialect or accent. Thus, an illiterate Buryat will never write the word "apelsin".
Step 5
If the message is not printed on a printer, armed with any handwriting handbook (not to be confused with graphology!), You can carry out a preventive analysis of the text, noting for yourself the characteristic features of handwriting.
Step 6
After analyzing all the data received, it is necessary to determine the area of the possible location of the sender of the letter. Perhaps this is one of your acquaintances or friends.
Step 7
The collected facts will help you to establish the identity of the sender of the "anonymous", but with the assistance of specialists, you will also have legally acceptable evidence.
