    But ,and I can't stress this enough, that doesn't change anything. The advice to the flatmate would still be complete and return the form. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Opening mail isn't a problem.
    What you do with it next can be a problem.

    Open it, fine.
    But it's your housemate's letter, so give it to them to sort out.

    You are not your housemate's mother.

    By making up your mind what's happening, or what might happen, you're changing the potential outcome and will be implicated in the outcome from this point onwards.

    His letter, you know who he is, you know it's important. Hand it over.

    It's not as if it's a bank statement for £10 for a savings account of a previous/unknown past tenant you can just send back or shred.

    Give it to him.

    The letter is address to a person with a different last name, I am told that some foreigners use different names all the time. But I don't think that would be the case with driving documents and such like.

    But you know exactly who the letter was/is for so totally pointless argument.

    So do many Brits. E.g. "Tommy Robinson".

    .


    Housemate has now left, he has another letter today. I returned it to the police with an explanation that he no longer lives here.
