Needless to say, I have not really discovered anything, just some simple math observations.
Here's my results:
The oca or oka is a perennial plant grown in the central and southern Andes for its starchy edible tuber, used as a root vegetable. Its leaves and young shoots can be eaten as a green vegetable as well. Introduced to Europe in 1830 as a competitor to the potato and to New Zealand as early as 1860, it has become popular in that country under the name New Zealand yam and is now a common table vegetable.
The oca is one of the important staple crops of the Andean highlands, second only to the potato due to its easy propagation
1 “Sing this funeral song for the princes of Israel:
2 “What is your mother?
A lioness among lions!
She lay down among the young lions
and reared her cubs.
3 She raised one of her cubs
to become a strong young lion.
He learned to hunt and devour prey,
and he became a man-eater.
4 Then the nations heard about him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him away with hooks
to the land of Egypt.
5 “When the lioness saw
that her hopes for him were gone,
she took another of her cubs
and taught him to be a strong young lion.
6 He prowled among the other lions
and stood out among them in his strength.
He learned to hunt and devour prey,
and he, too, became a man-eater.
7 He demolished fortresses[a]
and destroyed their towns and cities.
Their farms were desolated,
and their crops were destroyed.
The land and its people trembled in fear
when they heard him roar.
8 Then the armies of the nations attacked him,
surrounding him from every direction.
They threw a net over him
and captured him in their pit.
9 With hooks, they dragged him into a cage
and brought him before the king of Babylon.
They held him in captivity,
so his voice could never again be heard
on the mountains of Israel.
10 “Your mother was like a vine
planted by the water’s edge.
It had lush, green foliage
because of the abundant water.
11 Its branches became strong—
strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.
It grew very tall,
towering above all others.
It stood out because of its height
and its many lush branches.
12 But the vine was uprooted in fury
and thrown down to the ground.
The desert wind dried up its fruit
and tore off its strong branches,
so that it withered
and was destroyed by fire.
13 Now the vine is transplanted to the wilderness,
where the ground is hard and dry.
14 A fire has burst out from its branches
and devoured its fruit.
Its remaining limbs are not
strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.

Besides the 'semantics' of the letter, something else puzzles me..Is there any significance in the number of copies of the image in each letter? Is each page identical??
Also, there maybe something significant in the way the sheets were stapled together. Not on the top left-hand side as you would normally expect to find so you could read the collection of pages as a whole, left-to-right. But on the top-right hand side, so the pages are read in the 'reverse' to conventional order?

This particular cross form was the arms of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, who granted its use to the Knights Templar. (See also Templar Cross.)
The Duke of Lorraine, Godefroy de Boullion, used this cross for his standard when he took part in the capture of Jerusalem. The cross was then passed on to his successors as heraldic arms...
...But on the infamous side, Lorraine saw poison gas used extensively in WWI to choke soldiers to death. From this macabre history, the American Lung Association has adopted the Lorraine Cross as its emblem to help in its fight against lung disease. Poison gas in WWI killed an estimated 91,198 soldiers...

The Broken Cross has Pagan roots, being the inverse of the Pythagorean symbol for life and Teutonic rune of death, and is vogue with Wiccans and Satanists.
It can represent the antithesis of all that Christianity stands for.
Some see breaking a cross as a way to protest against Christianity. An example of this has been witnessed in recent years in Armenia (see Khachkar Cross).
The Broken Cross has been called a Neronic Cross or Nero's Cross in recognition of Nero's attempt to suppress the rise of Christianity
from here.
The Baptismal Cross is a Greek Cross superimposed on an 'X' (Greek: chi). This chi is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ. (See also Chi-Rho Cross.)
It was used in ancient Egypt as a symbol of the Ogdoad, the primeval forces of chaos in Egyptian mythology, represented as eight deities which existed before the creation of the sun god. (See also Taranis Cross.)
In Catholicism, the eight arms represent both the age of baptism in the church (eight years), and the eight days between Christ's entry into Jerusalem and his resurrection.

My boss received a very odd peice of post to his home...
The envelope had shaky handwriting on, and inside were several A6 pieces of paper; all with the same thing photocopied onto them and stapled together in sets of 3-4 in the top right corner.
Here
There was also a thin strip of paper with 01484 359418 written on.
I've tried phoning the number (cos I'm nosey) and it rang for ages with no answer.
