What country are you from, read the law regarding purchasing and ownership of fake goods in your country, in the UK for instance it is NOT illegal to buy or own counterfeit goods only illegal to sell them.
read the letter and notice much emphasise is put strongly in the wording of, importing and distributing ie importing to sell, which you are not you bought for personal use, it's a scare tactic to make you admit to something you haven't done i.e. Importing with the intention of selling, once you do that they will then demand a payment to cover their costs and to drop any further proceedings, your next step is up to you, I would certainly take proper legal advice before contacting them and certainly before admitting anything.

Well, you can always say that your secret admirer from insta or facebook or youtube often sent you package without your knowledge. Since she or he is a secret admirer, you don't know who that person is and you cannot stop him/her.
Anyone can send you a bag of poop from anywhere without your knowledge.

It’s not scary.
it’s nonsense. Just don’t do anything ans don’t admit anything

I’m guessing not, as it was your first post.
Just my opinion, but I would not even consider buying a Rep watch from Turkey.
They are hardly discrete in there sale of replica goods, and I would hazard a guess that goods coming to private individuals would attract unwanted attention from customs.
I have friends there, but would never ask them to ship any rep goods to me .
There is more fake goods sold in Marmaris than there is legitimate.

"Very Truly Yours".... what the actual fuck!!!! Who signs off like that?
It's a shit photocopied letter head with a general context of "you might" and "you could". It's complete garbage. Take zero notice.

Double down and go old school. Xerox a picture of your bare arse and mail it back.

Thank you Soo much for this information
The letter says it all really " the counterfeit act 1984 prohibits the distribution and sale" nothing about buying or owning

Nothing, it's a cease and desist letter. Don't reply, just forget about it.
But it'd be foolish to try and purchase another fake Rolex - stick to other brands of watches.

I believe it's fairly easy to open a PO Box in the US right ?
Open one and use it to get your stuff delivered, I would be surprised if those law firm can obtain the real identity behind a PO Box without a judge order

Actually, it would be kind of cool to collect a cease and desist letter from each law firm for each brand of rep watch in your collection.

If he did that they’d mail him a picture of what that ass will look like after 20 years in jail.
