Weird and Random Letter in the Mail

Yesterday, as I opened my mail, I noticed an unusual letter.  Unusual, in that it was handwritten, postmarked locally, and had a local but unfamiliar return address.  I was pretty intrigued (I lead a glamorous life, don’t I?), so I opened it right away.  And, 24 hours later, I’m still quite confused.  Here’s the text of the letter – any help in solving this mystery?

9-Mar-09 25-April-09 20-May-09 3-Jun-09

Dear Mr & Mrs. Kowske, Burke, Novo, Holls, Grundig,

How are you?  And your family?

Just a note, to tell you, our son Dan, turns 401, this year.  If you’d like to send him a card or something, his address is:

(redacted)

He & his wife Mary tell us the “grandkids” are doing well.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the “clothes & shoes crisis” in our town.  Have you (& family) & neighbors tried to shop at the (redacted) mall?

There’s a food court (Master Wok, Salad Creations, McDonalds, Soaku Sushi).

You can buy purses wallets, coin purses, luggage, handbags, belts, keychains, travel cases at “Louis Vuitton” “Aldo Accessories” “Claire’s” “Johnson & Murphy” “Stuart Weitzman” “Brighton Collectibles” “Laura Ashley”, “Lids” advertises “hats for sale” but there are complaints, the store only puts baseball caps in front, and you have to ask for winter hats, scarfs, earmuffs, etc.

Love,

(redacted).

Huh??  Is this a scam letter?  Someone who is losing their mind?  Someone who is angry they can’t buy a winter hat at Lids?  I am confused.
