Very suspicious since it wasn't a seemingly read email address.
Could just be phishing attempt to get phone numbers.
May have sent it to hundreds of people.
IF there was a name attached, which you didn't say, tell your wife about it and see if it's legit just out of curiosity.

She should be able to know even without a name, if they dated for a solid two years and broke up for certain specific reasons, which he stated in the letter.
So if this really happened she'd know...OP, why haven't you asked your wife? That's actually the first thing I'd do.
I would not respond to his message at all. When you're dealing with whackjobs like that guy, ANY reply would be viewed as an invitation for future contact. Obviously that would be bad-bad. Therefore do not, under any circumstances reply to this guy!
You can tell your wife if you want, but do not reply to this guy and tell your wife not to reply either for the reasons I've listed above.

I'll be honest, I want to save her from having to remember this guy if it did go down like he claims.
Right now, and I'm not saying this to brag, but I'm in a pretty rock solid marriage. We went right past the 7 year "itch" without even a blink.
I feel like bringing this guy back up, if it's legit, would just be a downer in an otherwise nearly perfect situation.

I think you most definitely should not respond at all to him. I also think if he could've contacted your wife directly, he would've, and bypassed you altogether. And MAYBE he's already tried that, and MAYBE your wife has already shut him down, blocked him, etc.
I DO think you should mention this to your wife, because the guy might be unhinged. And I guess I'll sound melodramatic...but if he HAS contacted her before, and now trying to go through you...maybe get police involved?

You're talking about your safety, and her safety. If this guy is legit he could track you down at your house.
What do you mean, it could be a downer? How could this negatively impact your marriage if it's in the past? And OTOH if it is legit how could you NOT want as much info as possible to arm yourself against stalking? Because if it is legit you have indeed already been stalked. It won't end here. Not with the degree of nuttiness and misery displayed in the letter.
And OTOH if it isn't for real you can both realize it was probably phishing or some other nonsense.

The whole thing is just so embarrassing for all.
