In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there are ten documents with the name unsent letter, one of which is added by the Blood and Wine expansion.
Unsent letter (Queen Zuleyka's Treasure)[]
This unsent letter can be found on a table near the Coast of Wrecks signpost. It is related to the treasure hunt quest Queen Zuleyka's Treasure and was once intended to be used among other clues during it, but that has been cut from the game.
Journal entry[]
- Boss, we've looked and looked for that Queen Zuleyka's treasure, and what've we found? Fuck, beg your pardon, all. Though we have mighty enjoyed eating our fill of the oysters we fish off of the bottom. You sure that map's the real deal, boss? Not some counterfeit? Cause it seems to me that sailor cheated us. But we'll keep looking around, till something eats us, or till you give us other orders.

Unsent letter (boatyard pirates)[]
This letter can be found at the abandoned site south of Refugees' Camp, on a mattress by the campfire in between the boats. However, it can only be retrieved before clearing the site from bandits, after which the letter disappears along with pirate's notes nearby.
After the liberation, a different unsent letter can be found at the site.
Journal entry[]
- Boss, send us a few more hands, will you? We're awful short of help. Yesterday Dante and Marik went into the woods and never came back. Don't know if they legged it or if something jumped them... But if even half of what I've heard about Velen is true, chances of the latter are mighty high.
- No doubt you don't believe those tales... But we found human bones in a firepit. Cut lengthwise, as if to take the marrow out. Cut with a knife, and not a claw, you understand? Connect the dots yourself.
- To my reckoning, we should get the blazes out of here soon as possible. I know we're waiting for a new ship, that there's this ploughing treasure... But I'd rather sail out on a barn door and live in poverty than sit in this accursed bog one day longer.
Unsent letter (boatyard workers)[]
This letter is found on a table at the abandoned site south of Refugees' Camp, after it is liberated.
Before the liberation, a different unsent letter and pirate's notes can be found at the site.
Journal entry[]
- Ahoy, Gregor!
- Did you hear they chased the pirates off? It's true! Not a trace of pirate left, save for a few fresh graves and some bloodstains. The shipyard's more or less in the same state we left it in - meaning everything's about to collapse, but holding up for the time being, and the tools are all rusty, but get the job done. In a word, you can return - just for the gods' sake, don't go south, for some other bandits have pitched camp there. Nature's a whore for vacuums, or however that saying goes.
- It'll be just like the good old days, mate - the crashing of waves, singing of seabirds and the stink of pitch smeared over hulls. So whaddaya say? Will you come back?
- -Simon
Unsent letter (Swamp Bint Harbor)[]
This letter can be found on the ground by the prison cell at Swamp Bint Harbor (Peet's Landing), at the Person(s) in distress marker southwest of Mulbrydale, where the village's swordsmith is held captive.
Journal entry[]
- To The Most Great And Honorable Sergeant Cahwry var Llechyn, Esquire,
- You asked me, My Good Sir, to reckon how many lads I could drum up to work for the Empire's glory. So here's my reckoning.
- First off, Your Esquire's gotta know that I can scrummage up a few hayseeds from Claywich whenever you want, but that's what I'd call second-rate goods - geezers and squirts, mainly. But if Your Excellency thinks he can find use for even dregs like that, send us a messenger and within a week's time you'll get a transport full of them, trussed up like coneys.
- I've also had a word or two with some soldiers who quit the baron's service after he got soused one night and jammed a hot poker in one of them's eyes. They've pitched two camps, one right next to the castle, the other near Velen's southern border - and as I'm sure Your Wondrousness has guessed, they're looking to make some quick coin. So if Your Most Reverend Sir can send us a few crowns as a deposit, why, we'll get to work on the double-quick and send you the prettiest dames and hardiest lads in all of Velen, maybe even in all the North - a hundred, two hundred, how ever many of them The Great Sergeant wants.
- Your Humble Servant,
- Dalegor

Unsent letter (Don't Play with the Gods)[]
This letter is a quest item book, found along with a key on a body at the hidden treasure marker in the elven ruins southeast of Duén Hen.
Journal entry[]
- Dear Elke,
- Thank the gods fools believe in them! We've made good use of that fact twice now. Firstly, when we stole that load of silver from the temple. No one was watching it - because who would be brave enough to risk the gods' wrath by desecrating such a holy place? And then we hid it all in the ruins said to have been cursed by elven gods. No one goes near there, no one even looks at them too closely - so we didn't really have to hide it, as treasure's safer there than in the Vivaldi Bank.
- We'll spend the night in the woods, then I'll ride to Novigrad, find a buyer for the whole stash. We're going to be rich, Elke, rich! And maybe then I'll throw something in the plate, a token of my gratitude to superstition and stupidity!
- -Your Edgar

Unsent letter (Fireburst Harbor)[]
This letter is a quest item book, found on a corpse behind a boatwreck at the hidden treasure marker in Fireburst Harbor. Finding it starts the treasure hunt quest An Unfortunate Turn of Events.
Journal entry[]
- Melitele bless ye, Nittel!
- Listen, Nittel, that little case you gave me to transport... was there anything of value inside? Because thing is, I had a bit of an unfortunate work accident and... well, the blased case fell in the water and I couldn't spy it for the life of me. I tried to fish it out, but some devil must live on the bottom there, cause every time I tossed my net, I'd catch a snare. Maybe there's, I don't know, some way I can repay you? A discount on your next shipment, maybe?
- Sincerely,
- Willich

Unsent letter (Dowry)[]
This unsent letter is a book and quest item part of the Dowry treasure hunt. It can be found along with a slightly bent key at the hidden treasure marker north-northeast of White Eagle Fort and directly south from Carsten.
Journal entry[]
- My dear papa,
- The wedding's over. It's done. It didn't all go exactly like I'd imagined as a little girl, but, well, you always taught me to make the most of what I've got. We're traveling now, so I'll send this letter as soon as we arrive.
- I'll start with what I'm sure interests you the most - financial matters. As I'm sure you've noticed, a few crowns have gone missing from your lockbox, the cupboard's a couple silver plates lighter, and your jewelry box isn't near as full as it once was. I took it. As my dowry. No doubt much less than you'd have given, had I but found myself a "worthy partner," but, tough, that's life.
- Kurt – or, as you like to call him, "that good-for-nothing bare-arsed lazybones" - is now my husband. And your daughter's precious purity, which you cared about more than her feelings, tears or pleadings - well, it's only a memory now.
- We'll soon arrive at our destination. Naturally, I won't tell you where exactly that is - just in case you get it in your head to come visit. Wherever it is, know your silver will be enough to set up a nice home. That's important - because I'm expecting a child. Are you glad? I doubt it. You always said poor matches only produce mutts and scoundrels. So it's a good thing you'll never have to see this one.
- Your little girl,
- -Jeanette

Unsent letter (Blood Ties)[]
This Unsent letter is a quest item found under Hrodeberth's hanged body during the quest Blood Ties, and can later be returned to his mother.
Journal entry[]
- Dear Mother,
This might be my last letter. My head hangs low as I write, for I have brought great shame on our family. I have failed my brothers at arms. In the hour of truth, my courage failed me. I ask no forgiveness, for I deserve none. I ask only that you pray for me.
May you live in health,
H

Unsent letter (Border Post)[]
This letter is a book that can be found on the left side of the merchant's cage at the person(s) in distress marker southeast of the Border Post and north-northwest of Hanged Man's Tree.
Journal entry[]
- My Dear Helke!
- Remember when you said, "Izbor, don't you go robbing folk, the gods don't like it, and besides, only refugees on the roads these days, and they're even poorer than us"? How you were cross that I shirked working in the fields and didn't bring a scarp home to put in the pot? Well, you are gonna have to eat those words, my dear! Gobble them all up, with a hearty slice of humble pie and some baked crow on the side!
- Yesterday we cornered this merchant. And not a Gors Velen or Brenna man, but from Nilfgaard itself, you see? From the City of Golden Towers! Didn't speak much Common, but enough so's we could understand each other. He said he was carrying some goods to the Black One's camp. We took everything he had, and I"m telling you, Helke dearest, you've never seen so many crowns in your life, nor could you ever hope to count that high!
- Now we're going to rough him up a bit more to make sure he hasn't hid some of his gold or goods. Once we cut off his thumbs he'll spill the beans about any extra treats slashed in the soles of his boots, and once Mirko scalds him a bit he'll tell us about the precious stones he's got sewn in the feedbag. Might tell us a great many such things of interest, in fact. You never know just what till you try.
- Tell the young'uns Da's gonna be home soon. That he'll bring them toys and treats and they'll eat so many honeycakes their tummies're gonna burst. For you, Helke, I'll bring a silver necklace and brooch. Because while you can be awful cruel atimes, I still love you, you naughty bint.
- -Izbor
- P.S. Throw on that nightshirt with the lace and red beads for my arrival. And color up your kisser somewhat.

Unsent letter (Pearls of the Coast)[]
This letter is a book and quest item, found on a bench at a pirates' campsite south of Eldberg Lighthouse, at the hidden treasure marker right in the center of the island. Reading it starts the Pearls of the Coast treasure hunt quest.
Journal entry[]
- Leif,
- Go round up a few pearl divers and bring them here. But good ones this time - those turds we brought in from Spikeroog drowned before they could be any use to us.
- I don't know, maybe that ship really has sunk too deep for any man to pull anything out of it... but it's worth a try. From what the survivors said, it was carrying a mighty hefty load of silver.
- -Ove.

Unsent letter (Hangman's Alley)[]
This letter is supposed to replace the bandit's notes in the camp at the person(s) in distress marker near Hangman's Alley, when some refugees occupy it sometime after Claywich's barber is rescued. However, the container that has it seems to be bugged and doesn't appear during gameplay.
Journal entry[]
- Dear Ainslee,
- Sure, we lost our house cause of this war, aye, we've done some wandering, and yes, we almost died of hunger a time or two, but it seems the gods haven't abandoned us after all! I thought we were done for, that we'd die in those swamps - and here we've run into a camp. I walked up real careful-like - folk've chased us outta more than one village already - but this one was empty as can be! Tents, barrels, but not a trace of people. So Macros and I decided we'd stay here, for a while, at least, wait till the war ends. Perhaps Velen's not as bad as they say?
- Your Borias
Unsent letter (Coopers' Slope)[]
This unsent letter is from the Blood and Wine expansion, and can be found at Coopers' Slope after liberating the abandoned site there.
Journal entry[]
- To be delivered personally to Damien de la Tour
- Dear Commander,
We, the undersigned, turn to you with a polite request to provide protection to our humble settlement on Coopers' Slope, for we live in fear of acts of rampage and destruction on the part of giants descending from Mount Gorgon. As recently as a week ago, one such giant attacked our cooper's workshop, destroyed our yard, stole one of the barrels and put it on his head (as if donning a helm!). Heedless to our warnings that this contradicted the item's intended use and might lead to unpredictable side effects, it then fled towards the Sansretour River. The ducal paper pushers refuse to believe our words and we are afraid those monsters will kill us all in our sleep. We thank you in advance for considering our humble plea. - Amelia
