Abstract

El presente artículo examinó siete cartas anónimas escritas a empleados de una tienda de abarrotes exclusiva en el noreste de Estados Unidos. Las cartas iniciales, que fueron escritas y enviadas por correo durante un lapso de 5 años, consistían en quejas sobre asuntos laborales, en tanto que las últimas se volvieron más intimidatorias hasta incluir amenazas de muerte. Se cuestionaba si las cartas las había escrito el mismo autor. Como no existía ninguna muestra de ninguno de los sospechosos, se empleó un marco para el análisis comparado con los documentos fuente. El presente estudio demuestra cómo comparten las siete cartas características similares cunado se las analiza como cartas de reclamación.
