The letter circulating on social media, which is alleged to have been issued by the State Intelligence Services and addressed to the President, about a survey carried out by intelligence services on the presidential election is false, the police said today.

They said neither the State Intelligence Service nor institutions of police had carried out any survey on the presidential election and that they had not been engaged in any sort of political activity as stated in the letter.

Police said the CID would conduct an investigation against those who were involved in posting a fake letter of this nature on social media.

They said their prime duty was to make sure the election was held in a fair and peaceful manner and for that, they would do their best. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Lets keep our fingers crossed and wait until Nov 17/ 18. Even if this is a manipulated doc, we could see how good the Manipulator's knowledge in doctoring figures

Whatever said, if anyone scrutinize this letter, its format (not particularly on the contents) has all credible signs that it is a genuine doc. Hence, either 1. This is a genuine doc; or 2. Whoever doctored this document is an expert in doing such things, since no one could suspect about it

Its a fake letter but drafted with the backing of experts to discourage people voting for a particular candidate done with a purpose
