I received the same letter on 02/25/11. Handwritten on yellow lined paper with red ink from Elizabeth Scott. Oddly, the envelope was not sealed, the flap was just tucked in. We have lived in our home for 30 years and it is not for sale, and no deaths associated with this address. The letter is going to Lisa Madigan's office this week.
I received a hand written letter in the mail from a "Robert and Elizabeth Scott" saying they want to buy my house (which is not on the market) and they gave the phone number 224-795-8289.
I got a weird letter from someone asking to buy my house and to please call them at this number. The return address is a Sushi restaurant in Lake Forest, IL.
