This is my first story as a journalist.
I hadn't planned for it to be my last story, but it probably will be, given what's happened in the years I've been working on this.
It's about a letter that surfaced in my city and had huge consequences for Britain.
This letter launched four government investigations, changed our national policy and ended careers.
It's hurt some of the country's most vulnerable children.
A letter that many people who've seen it agree is ridiculous.
It's unsigned, undated.
Didn't it look like a serious document?
Did it?
It just seemed comical.
What the hell is this?
