I don't suppose it to be predictable.
But it is quite easily predictable that no Muslim - first opening a letter with the fully written formula of the bismillah - shall state that a letter is written "in the name of God (bi ism allah or: bismillah) of myself and of my family" thus equating himself and his family to God.
It simply isn't imaginable unless the writer is mentally disabled, having no idea about who Allah is, or the writer has not the slightest idea about Islam which means that he can't be a Muslim.
Adding to this that someone like Atta firmly believed (and was on the brink to die for) that he was the best Muslim any Muslim can be, only gives even more weight to this argument.
salaam.
