A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that police received a complaint from a 35-year-old man on Sunday January 17 regarding malicious communications. "Detectives from Richmond-upon-Thames are investigating." Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Tate was said to have been left "chilled" by the letters, the Sun reported.
