Haha, the funniest thing I have ever seen so far. An imperial courier came up to me while I was talking to the gaurd outside of Riften, (He was telling me that I need to pay the visitor's tax) well, the guard all of a sudden stopped talking to me and yelled "Down with the Empire" and completly slaughtered the courier.

I felt sort of bad...But it was hilarious. It just sort of made me mad that I didn't get the letter, and it wasn't on his corpse either.

You didn't get the letter? Uh oh.

I don't want to put fear in you, but you may want to reload your last game just in case it wasn't an inheritance letter.

Most letters start quests.

Imperial couriers don't bring Dovakiin his mail. It's the naked guy
