(Sorry, but I had to include it for my letter to make sense)

Assuming that you sent a load of extended Ascii characters, then yes, it is
distinctive, if a little abstract.

However, I can only see it because Windows can handle just about anything the
InterNet can throw at it. I imagine that quite a few Unix and terminal users
are wondering why you posted a letter full of garbage characters that causes
their machines to lock up!

The moral of this tale? Better stick to vanilla Ascii, say *NO!* to the
eighth bit.
