Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Anonymous letter to employers
Please help!!! Anonymous letters showing up on employers desks 1 month to a year after employed. Very damaging info written but none of it true., CAN BACK IT UP IF ASK. Causing much distress as well as ruining my reputation. Can't find the writer but know the general area it originates from.Taught school and anamosity existed between a small group of parents and myself.
Employers are reading the letters and immediately I'm treated differently and eventually moves on to a new job. This is ruining my life. Please tell me my legal rights and what I can do. I can't believe one person can ruin your life but it is happening to me. HELP.I am a young man just waiting for a fair chance.

Re: Anonymous letter to employers

You should first of all be collecting these letters for the puprpose of building a record

which may assist in ultimately identifying the

perpetrator(s).(Any envelopes containing the letters should also be carefully preserved.)

Any new or prospective employer should be alerted

beforehand to the possibility that one or more of these defaming letters might show up on his or her desk.

Beyond these measures, there is little you can do until the miscreant(s) is actually identified.
