Occasionally an anonymous letter reaches the Directors of The Mother Church from a person who believes that the Board can remedy some situation the writer inadequately describes. If the writer is mistaken in his written conclusions, as is often the case, the Directors have no opportunity to write a helpful reply. At any rate, a statement which a writer will not authenticate with his signature is of no value and has no weight. Indeed, the sending of anonymous letters is generally not considered reputable.
Writers of letters to the Directors can be sure that if they wish their identity as correspondents held confidential, a request to that effect, added to their letters, will ensure the confidence.
