Am I missing a quest?

Bit of an odd scenario. I was out on the road and saw a courier approaching me, but before he got close enough to yank me into his dialog, a troll one shot him. After dispatching the troll, I picked up the note from his dead body, which was addressed to me as an "investor" and asked for assistance clearing out a cave I'd already cleared out an in-game month ago. The note didn't give any objectives and wasn't signed by anyone specific. When I went to the cave and re-cleared it of bandits who had since taken up residence, there was nothing there of note.

Did the troll's untimely appearance glitch out the quest, or is there really nothing more to this note?

I think a letter about [random dungeon] is what you find on dead couriers. I found a courier killed by some beast once (sabrecat or something, don't remember), with a similiar note - never investigated it though.

No need to worry, it's not a quest. Sometimes you meet a random courier who's not approaching you, just goes about his business delivering messages to other people. He carries the note you found - you can kill him and take it or just pickpocket it off him. It's just another way to discover new locations and update your map :)

Oh, ok. This coincided with my taking the "Investor" perk in the speech tree for the first time on a character and I had been running around investing in shops. Thought it was a quest I was missing out on since it was addressed to "investor", thanks!
