Gawker. It doesn't look to me like the handwriting is the same—the "g" in "last night" in the Nate letter, for instance, doesn't match the "g" in "daughter" in the Christine letter, and there are other differences. Besides, it would be dumb to have the same person write both stunts. And Montgomery's Facebook page is littered with similar (unverified) letters that didn't go viral, indicating that he's either a prolific scammer or his Facebook page is indeed made him a repository for people to send in these sorts of notes.
That's not to say your skepticism isn't warranted. Neetzan's job is to cover what is happening on the internet, and this, for better or worse, was happening on the internet.

The fact that Montgomery refused in both cases to put us in touch even off the record is indeed a cause for concern.

Watch This Incredible Young Woman Render Jon Stewart Speechless. Why Pussy Riot matters. By Michelle Ringuette, Special to CNN Editor's note: Michelle Ringuette is chief of campaigns and programs at Amnesty International USA. The views expressed are her own. All eyes were on Moscow this morning as Maria Alekhina, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot, were found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. For What? Most agreed that the court wouldn't rule in the women's favor; they themselves had predicted a guilty verdict. Say what you will about Pussy Riot: this might not be your kind of music. Amidst this backdrop of increasing efforts to silence the voice of the people, the message of Pussy Riot has sounded loud and clear.
