What other 'genuine' ransom notes?

I'm very curious to know, too. The note is infamous because no other note as is as long.

and the second link doesnt show the notes at all.

First one was short. It's only three sentences. Also, it doesn't ramble. It instructs them how to allot the money and they will be in contact. It doesn't have any weird rambling steps like putting the money in one type of container and then a paper bag or not talking to strange dogs. Notice all the spelling errors and how it doesn't match the writing of anyone in the home. The Ramsey note is similar to Patsy's hand writing and vocabulary "fat cats", "attache" instead of briefcase is her vernacular. I've never even heard anyone say "attache" before this case or after (not in reference to it). It's not a common American word. "Attache" has an accent mark like Jonbenet does which is also interesting because Jonbenet is a combination of John and Bennett (Bennett doesn't have such an accent). Clearly, Patsy is found of the mark. Considering how unusually it is, no one here even spells her name that way. I has to ask a mod to put in the mark. You yourself have said if it was an intruder, they may not have even known Jonbenet's name. I find it odd someone with a passion for accent marks comes in and writes that note with no connection with the family, when lo and behold Mommy Ramsey also likes making those silly marks. Another weird thing is the killer doesn't name Jonbenet, Mommy doesn't name her either. "That child" of hers...

I also see no other notes.

Even more of a sophisticated criminal foreign group they said they were. Most common everyday American criminals would have just said suit case ,book case or back pack.

You don't find it weird a stranger has the same hand writing style and uses the same accent mark as the mother is so fond of?

Which, to me, points to the RN being a set-up to frame Patsy.

If it were a young female--with an intention to burglarize the house--who wrote the note, working with a male partner who later made a deadly mistake, she definitely would have known JonBenet's name.

I believe that Patsy wrote the weird rambling note.
