When they say there's a code, there obviously isn't. It's kinda like mob psycology...

Well sort of. It'd actually be reverse psychology. At least I think that's what it'd be. Either way the entire asoue community gets up in arms about something that's not really there. A dastardly trick.

You're welcome. Do we have any more letters like that? Either automatic reply ones that aren't "your teacher works for count olaf" or this one, OR letters that encourage you to find a nonexistent code?

I saw this one on UE.com which I don't remember, although it's entirely possible that some kid made it up; it sounds like something a fan would make up. Evidence for: The typo for what I assume is "pursue" in the sixth line. Evidence against: I think the quotation from The Garden of Proserpine is likely beyond them. www.unfortunateevents.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19791Today will die tomorrow; From the alleged desk of Lemony Snicket
Our wicked world contains nothing nobler or better
Lately than a message in the first important letter
After all a plea delivered from a voice both glad and dire,
From very far away, perhaps an author you admire
I was Very Fully Delighted to recieve a note from you
Someone for the Baudelaires, who with the truth persure
Noble colleague, I am held here at this return address
Every moment higher climbs my mountain of distress
Alarmingly they taped my mouth shut so that I cannot yelp
Really that's why I'm writing, so WILL YOU PLEASE SEND- |

Interesting. Doesn't seem like a code though. Just a typical Lemony plea for help.

Except for the "OLAF IS NEAR" code in the initials, but it'd be surprising if there wasn't something of that nature concealed in the letter, as it's pretty much standard fare by now.

I think that this is a letter from Daniel Handler.  and it is possible that there is no code in there just a simple letter telling the reader to stop bothering him  |

Looks more like a request for help than a request to stop pestering him.

When something says "`refrain from decoding this letter" it usual means there is a code to decode.
