I say prove this letter correct! Take out your ire on one every theater students who have a living grandparent. That'll learn 'em. Slap them about and when they cry "Why?!" just mutter someting about "that damn letter."
I don't know about the letter being mailed means it's any more "real." You've got creative students in your care - I bet they'd think of adding that extra touch of "maybe it's legit" if they were messing with you.
I'll second your suspicion on another area: As a non-theater person, it seemed obvious to me that the author(s) of the letter either had training or had been involved in the past. If I were writing a testy old-person letter, I never would have used the term "canted out". It probably would have read a lot more like something penned by Abe Simpson.

Still sucks to get this sort of crap, though.
