So you're saying that there was a letter floating around in the late 1980s used by people who wanted to hide their past? Did your friend happen to mention where he/she got it? (I'm guessing it was most likely taken from one of those sketchy "How to become a different person" books that used to be advertised in the back of sleazy magazines & have been mentioned in this forum over the years -- but it might have been shared in a loose-knit group of people.)
This is an unexpected fact...
I wish I had the answer to that question...I vaguely remember a book she had mentioned. She never mentioned where she got the letter of reference. Unfortunately, I haven't spoken to her in 9 years. She wanted to leave her husband for a guy who was a friend of his and I told her not to. She supported me when I left, so we had a disagreement and we don't talk anymore. My sister's friend saw her at a church gathering not long ago~~said she would get a phone number. I told her not to bother as my number had not changed and if she wanted to call me she could. She was my best friend growing up, so it was very hard for me. Her mother got married when we were in freshman year and moved away. I met her halfway (she lived far away) and we went back to our old neighborhood. She ran away that night. I didn't know where she was for years, then one day I called her mom. She had contacted her mom after she turned 18. We spoke for a few years then disconnected, then reconnected a few years later and now don't talk again anymore. You can say we are on again off again friends...LOL.
There are so many similarities between her and FLEK that if I didn't know any better I would say they were the same person. From the letter, working in a gentlemen's club, etc. I guess that is what is so intriguing to me about FLEK's story.
If I ever talk to her again, I will ask her where she got the letter.
What I do remember very well is she said that you choose a very common name like White or something similar so that is it so common it can be easily confused with another person. Oh, also use a number that you can remember when choosing an address or phone number. For instance, she might have used my phone number but changed the area code or something like that. Address could be last 4 numbers of a phone number or vise versa.
