    Only you know how bad the contents are.

    Personally I would contact the police and ask their advice especially if a serious crime may have been committed.

    The advice I have given is what I would do but others may be different, at the end of the day only you know what was in the letter therefore its your judgement.

    @Binky1234 I don't know what's on the dongles I ain't watching them as anything could be on them and note mentions police names and numbers and something about safeguarding

    @Binky1234 and there is date on them and the note is dated from 2010 which was over 12 years ago why would someone leave that in a suitcase and give it to a charity shop???

    Hi there 

    You are doing the right thing not watching the content 

    As it mentions police in letter I would just hand it in to them to deal with

    Have you considered returning it to the charity shop and informing them of what you have found @Nicetomeetyou22

    😊 giving police officers number and  saying you prefer stay anonymous make my day ❤️ ( they can get from the system everything about you including size of shoes and where did you been in public last time).  Even, woman like me could find the most about you based on your phone number💃 too
