A woman identified only as Louise from Älmhult, Sweden, has reportedly been receiving hate mail for three years, including letters containing feces and messages urging her to commit suicide. According to SVT Småland, Louise has received approximately 20 such letters and believes she knows who is responsible, having reported all incidents to police.
The hate mail campaign escalated after Louise's partner, Max, confronted the person they suspect of sending the letters. Following this confrontation, new letters began appearing, this time written in Max's name and containing threats and racist language. Louise estimates that about 15 other people in Älmhult have received similar letters.

Despite Louise filing police reports for all the letters over the three-year period, no investigation has been initiated, according to the report. Thomas Johansson, press spokesperson for Polisregion Syd, explained that investigating hate mail is challenging, stating that to hold someone accountable, police need concrete evidence like DNA or fingerprints linking a specific person to the letters.
Louise expressed feeling betrayed by the police response, noting that the letters have continued to arrive despite her reports. Both Louise and Max have chosen not to disclose their surnames in connection with the case.
