 		[Trailhead?] Encoded message in the mail.
I just got home and this was waiting in the mail for me. The envelope is nothing special it has my name and address, and the return address is also mine. It was mailed from zip code 56537, which is Fergus Falls, MN & Otter Tail County, MN.

I unfortunately wont have a lot of time to work on this tonight, but wanted to post it on here.

Has anyone received others like this?

 		What do you see? I can see it. Is it maybe because it is a PNG? I can post it as a JPG.

Can you see it now?

Can't work on it much due to it being the wee hours of the morning, but I'd say it's flipped as well. Look at it flipped horizontally. Still seems to be coded though.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


the word needed for this game to begin is the name of the island where you are from - if you find the answer to this clue then you are worthy to play the game

i will be waiting for your reply

brother


Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I am originally from Staten Island...now I am wondering if this is from my actual brother, because it doesn't say how to actually respond. I will update when I know more.

How did you do that?
Wow. That sounds very interesting...wish I got something like that Razz
Too bad it's not like a computer, where you could check the ip address/source code.
Could you go over it for fingerprints or something? Actually, that probably wouldn't work unless you actually had your brothers fingerprints somewhere xD
How did you manage to decode that, btw? What language/form whas that? Looks like a combination of norwegian/irish/Cyrillic to me xD
