Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Valid or Invalid

There is a type written letter stating on it a ''conditional offer'' saying defendant would drop right to sue civil or criminal against ofc. if he dropped all charges, addresed to an officer with no threats made on it and with no signature on it either. is this valid evidence or even constitute intimidation of witness? Isn't this a plea bargain just not coming from a lawyer though?
