Threat Level: Orange

Instance of SCP-089-PT. Recipient's name redacted

Special Containment Procedures: Post offices around the country must be monitored, and any instances of SCP-089-PT found must be seized and kept securely in Site PT5's secure compartment for textual anomalies¹.

SCP-089-PT-2 instances must be observed and, after the Werther period, if the individuals have not been terminated, they must be treated with Class-C amnestics, and all instances of SCP-089-PT in their possession must be seized.

Description: SCP-089-PT is a set of letters sent anomalously, whose content is only readable by instances of SCP-089-PT-2². Any other subject attempting to read SCP-089-PT will only see a white sheet of paper, which does not appear to have anomalous properties other than the delivery methods.

Instances of SCP-089-PT do not have a stamp, sender or recipient address. How SCP-089-PT is delivered remains unknown. Although SCP-089-PT instances temporarily appear at the post office closest to SCP-089-PT-2, the object dematerializes within an indefinite amount of time, reappearing in the affected individual's mailbox if this is not prevented somehow. (For more information, see Test Log). The letters tend to be delivered within a period of 3 to 7 days, regardless of how long of a physical letter would normally take to be sent from where SCP-089-PT-1 claims to reside.

The content of SCP-089-PT varies in all subsequent mailings, however the first instance remains identical to all others, save for the name of the recipient (see Transcription 089-PT-α, done by ████████, subject SCP-089-PT-2).

The letters appear to be written by an entity that calls itself "Maria de Oliveira █████”, hereinafter referred to as SCP-089-PT-1. All interviewed subjects reported different locations where SCP-089-PT-1 claimed to reside, ██ of them being Brazilian cities and ██ Portuguese. Of the ██ municipalities mentioned, 16 were investigated by the Foundation. No records of SCP-089-PT-1 were found.

According to the acquired accounts, SCP-089-PT-1 writes letters of romantic content, always praising the qualities of SCP-089-PT-2 and their lifestyle, mentioning the desire to meet the subject. SCP-089-PT-2 instances, after undergoing the reading of the first letter, develop an obsessive, borderline unhealthy behavior, prioritizing the reading and rereading of SCP-089-PT above all. SCP-089-PT-2 subjects feel compelled to answer letters, continuing the anomalous effect caused by SCP-089-PT.

After an uncertain period of time, estimated between one to three months, the letters will cease for exactly 30 days. SCP-089-PT-2 individuals report feeling abandoned during this period of time, and their obsession and anxiety levels rise higher than normal. Subjects start to eat less often, and stop prioritizing their personal hygiene. After that time, they will receive SCP-089-PT-Ω³, and enter a state called "Werther Period".

SCP-089-PT-Ω reports the impossibility of SCP-089-PT-1 to continue writing and sending letters. SCP-089-PT-1 will list the reasons for having kept in contact with SCP-089-PT-2 and their main qualities, ending the letter in a poetic way.

After reading SCP-089-PT-Ω, subjects will enter a state of deep depression that lasts for an approximate time of two weeks to two months. The subject will suffer from obsession, obsessive compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, at risk of self-mutilation and possibly suicide.

SCP-089-PT-2 subjects who survive this period remain melancholic, showing feelings of longing and loneliness, in addition to having great difficulties in developing new romantic relationships. Furthermore, a total of ██ of the affected individuals developed artistic skills related to writing, becoming literati and poets with ultra-romantic⁴ characteristics.

+ Transcription 089-PT-α

Transcription made by ████████, at 16:08, 21/10/1996.

Dear ████████,

How are you? I hope you find yourself well and happy. Pardon me for sending you this letter unexpectedly, but there are times when I wish to get in touch with someone like you. You who care, who love, and who seek the best for the world in which you live.

I'm afraid to talk about myself in this letter, I don't wish that you see me as a finicky woman, however I do think it will be necessary so we can have something to talk about. I love writing and drawing. Arts ignite an incandescent flame in my soul. How about you? What awakens that sparkle in your eyes?

Wish you a great day, and don't forget; in the end, even if everyone leaves you, I shall love you.

I shall love you forever.
- Maria

+ Test Log

Test 001 - 24/10/1996

Subject: Felipe ████████
Procedure: Subject was placed in a standard humanoid containment room, under constant observation by researchers. No mailbox was near the region where the subject resided.
Results: SCP-089-PT did not materialize inside the mailbox belonging to SCP-089-PT-2, but inside the subject's containment area, in front of the entrance and exit door. There was no containment breach, and the systems reported no errors.
Analysis: SCP-089-PT does not require a mailbox to materialize. Object manifests within a 10 m area where a SCP-089-PT-2 subject is located.

Test 002 - 28/10/1996

Subject: Dr. ████████
Procedure: Dr. ████████ uses a SCP-089-PT-2 subject's transcript from the last SCP-089-PT instance received by the subject and decides to write a personal response to SCP-089-PT.
Results: The letter never disappeared from the post office, remaining free from anomalous effects and unable to reach the destination marked on the envelope due to its inexistence.
Analysis: Only letters written by SCP-089-PT-2 instances are accepted by SCP-089-PT-1.

Test 003 - 23/11/1996

Subject: Felipe ████████
Procedure: Subject was prevented from writing new letters and was kept in the same containment area.
Results: SCP-089-PT was delivered in the same manner as the last test and, according to the subject's reports, SCP-089-P-1 did not care that he had not responded to its message.
Analysis: New instances of SCP-089-PT continued to be delivered, even without the subject responding, and their anomalous effects persisted.

Test 004 - 05/04/1998

Subject: Marcos ██████
Procedure: Subject was instructed to write letters of violent wording to SCP-089-PT-1, rejecting romantic comments present in the last letters.
Results: Subject refused to obey the researchers' requests. Use of light force was allowed, but was not enough to persuade subject to cooperate.
Analysis: Inconclusive.

I believe that it would be possible to force the subject to write the letter as desired if the use of adequate force were allowed, however I do not believe that the result of this test would be worth the physical and psychological damage it would cause.
— Dr. Oliveira
