[UPDATE] Letter regarding boot/plume/beetle

Not sure if I should start a new thread or post in one of the existing ones? Anyway, my first letter from tCotSA. I'll try to get pictures this weekend, but here's the summary.

* Nothing interesting on the envelope. Standard return address, no red numbers or other writing inside or out.

* Letter on white paper:

an impressive submission indeed, but not the intended solution. your group has thus far shown an unusual degree of aptitude [ed: I read this as "ineptitude" at first Razz

], and your failure to crack this puzzle leads us to believe that one or more pieces that we sent out failed to arrive at your door. this is certainly a risk that is run when utilizing a wide network of recipients, addresses, and postal carriers. we apologize for the inconvenience if this is the case, and applaud your efforts to overcome this obstacle. your determination and persistence are precisely the reasons that we have chosen you to move onward to the next phase.

* Letter on black paper/card stock. The letter is written in pencil, as far as I can tell.

Quote:

time has run thin and we have been forced to cut short the testing phase of which this puzzle was a part. however, we greatly respect your team's efforts, and will try to fill in some of the gaps for this challenge.

if you can solve it still, we will find a way to reward your labors.

on the back is a diagram that has lines that tell us how to organize the letters in the boot/plume/beetle puzzle.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

TOESOYNOC -> TEOYOC OSN (COYOTE SON?)
LERIKUELS -> EUS LRIKEL (USE KILLER?)

BETOYERALLOATREKY -> ELEK BEORAT TYALORY (KEEL BOATER ROYALTY?)
SOWEHISHOTERKY -> SWHIEKY OESHOTR (WHISKEY SHOOTER?)

ETLEERPOTTORECKRROWS -> LETES ERRKOW ETPOTOCRR (STEEL WORKER PROTECTOR?)
SEMMELEDBEYSRETB -> MELDET YB SEMEBSRE (MELTED BY BESSEMER? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessemer_process)

None of these collections of words mean anything to me.
