What if, the assassin trying to kill the dragonborn was the result of one of her dark rituals? finding the letter may probably indicate that the Brotherhood failed. Since in my game that assassin came extremely early leaving me no chance to get to riften there is hardly a possibility to find the note before that assassination attemp.

Yet at this stage, I wonder how she could know the dagonborn at all, but probably its because she is affiliated to the empire and afraid the DB would go woth Ulfric. But then, she also already controls the city even with the stormcloaks being in charge.

I just can't remember anymore if that asssassin appeared before the event revealing to be a Dragonborn or after.
