letter bombs
Explosive mail packages
A letter bomb is an explosive device concealed in an envelope or package, designed to detonate when opened.
Letter bombs are tools of assassination or terrorism, targeting specific individuals through the mail.
Figuratively, a letter bomb can be a message intended to cause maximum damage—a scathing resignation letter or devastating email: She sent a letter bomb to the entire company exposing the CEO's misconduct.
