Apparently someone decided to write some famous people, including convicted serial killers, just to see what kind of response he would get. He did get responses, and some of them are pretty dam funny.

Here’s an example of some correspondence from Richard Ramirez -the Nightstalker. (Gotta love the personalized serial killer stationery he sent with his letter.)

The NightStalker’s Response:

To: Billy
From: Richard Ramirez
Received: January 21, 1999

“Billy,
Greetings. Got your letter. What school do you go to? Who’s your friend? You should stay in school. Send pictures.
Richard”

I think I may give this a try myself. Would be cool to have a hand-written letter from Charles Manson framed behind my bar.
