"I was corrupted by this world and have learned to hate what life is. Life is love, life is pain. There is too much to accept, too many things to put up with just to live. I’m tired of the pain this world gives out," one passage read.
Another passage read, "Only recently have I lost all hope and decided to perform my final action against this world. I don’t want to kneel down for the injustices of this world. I want to die. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees, constantly in pain." The letter was signed Robin M Westman, with the dates 2002-2025 written next to it.
