Does anyone know what the specific letter is?
I've never heard of it and wonder if its true. Otherwise I will test my luck sending to Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and IBM....
Maybe you're refering to domains with bogus contact info? You can file a compliant to Internic here:

No. The proposition is not true.
Read a domain name registration contract from any gTLD registrar. They all state that failure to provide correct contact details in response to a registrar inquiry is grounds for deletion of the domain name registration in 15 days from notification.
No, the domain name is not transferred to anyone as a reward for pointing out bad whois data.
