Standard reply:

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I'm replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.

    I'm guessing you're basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven't seen it:

    Dear Mr. Cox:

    Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

    Very truly yours,

    CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.

    James N. Bailey, General Counsel

    Not that, specifically, though it might be indirectly?

    I'm basing it off of one of Gyles Brandreth's yarns where he described how he dealt with abusive constituents when he was a MP.

    Dear sir or madam:

    Some crackpot has written me an abusive letter, and they've signed your name at the bottom. [...]

    Whether he came up with that or adapted it from something prior, I don't know.

    Is there a They/Them for Sir or Madam? Must include that as well.

    If you believe my therapist friend who is also non-normative in a relevant fashion, demands for pronouns are often 'othering' in result, and thus go from farce to force.

    So, I write fewer email.
