If you're on the list you're marked for death.

The envelope is unremarkable. There is no return address. It contains a single, folded, sheet of white paper.

The envelope drops through the mail slot like any other piece of post. But for the nine complete
strangers who receive it - each of them recognising just one name, their own, on the enclosed list - it
will be the most life altering letter they ever receive. It could also be the last, as one by one, they start to
meet their end.
