An Albuquerque-based civil rights group got a scare after receiving a threatening letter in the mail that stated they only had half an hour before something bad was going to happen.
"This is the mailer for the end of the year that we send out for donations," said Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
Weinstein said the mailer sent back did not have a donation or even a Happy Holiday's greeting inside. Weinstein said his employee opened the letter, panic struck and he immediately called police.
Weinstein said the letter is clearly hate mail for the civil rights group. In it, the writer said the group's interests are idiotic, but it was the last line is what really shook up the employee.
"The last part says 'This letter has been treated to explode 20 minutes after opening,'" Weinstein said.
The writer ends by saying "Good luck."
