I received the same letter – from ‘Suzanne Lopez’ – in 2010. I never responded.

Hello

I recieved the same letter from Suzanne Lopez a few years ago (dated 18th February 2007). It was sent to the gallery I was with at the time (Archeus, Albemarle St, London) and it was eventually passed on to me and then I eventually got around to replying to her.

I was surpised to discover, via your website, that she wasn’t quite who she said she was but I don’t feel angry at her for her dishonesty. I think it’s an odd thing to do but I can’t see what harm she has done anyone. It’s the sort of thing someone might do as a kind of art-project. She might have quite an interesting collection by now.

All the best
Roy Eastland

My publisher forwarded a ‘fan letter’ to me today. It reads exactly the same.
From Martine Lopez , 43 B, Bd Devout,75020, Paris, France.

I was surprised at first to receive an ‘appreciation letter’ from a land and language so distant and different from mine, I am a poet writing in Malayalam, the language of a small state in the south west coast of India. Something about the letter was not so convincing, and I googled out the name and address !

Well, I can’t make out what the idea behind this project is .
However, I must add that I’m impressed by the hand writing .

Thankyou

Hi again – I also found this which amused me – somebody using her as a reference for their work! Ha ha! http://www.michaelconwaybaker.com/quotes.html

Ha! Got one today (8 November 2012) from Martine (no “a”) Lopez – same handwriting, same address, different (but equally decorative) notepaper. No claim to be 16 or 17 though – but “art is her passion”. The whole thing is weird. I haven’t got a signature she could use (top tip – don’t use the same signature for bank accounts etc and art!) and it was addressed to an old address and forwarded on. She/he could be just some collector writing to obscure people on the basis that the signatures could be worth something many years from now. Who knows?

I live in Italy and I’m an artist; I got the same identical letter yesterday. Same address but a different name (Xia Xiu). Tomorrow I’m going to my local postal police station..I guess it won’t be useful, but I think it’s correct to do it. The letter is 3 months old but I got it yesterday.

Weird. I got one of these too and happily didn’t respond. (Also from “Xia Xu.”)
