letter bomb
Mailed explosive device
A letter bomb is an explosive device concealed in an envelope or package, designed to detonate when opened.
Letter bombs are used for assassination or terrorism, targeting specific individuals through the mail.
Figuratively, a letter bomb can be a message intended to cause damage—a devastating email or harsh written rebuke: She sent a letter bomb to HR detailing every grievance.
