The Mon cher Mustapha letter was an anonymous chain letter distributed in Dreux, France around 1981–82 by supporters of the far-right political party National Front. It was supposedly written by an Algerian living in France to a friend or brother living in Algeria. It read as follows:[1]

My Dear Mustapha. By the grace of the all-powerful Allah we have become lords and masters of Paris…Come quickly, we expect you in large numbers, since Mitterand [sic] has promised that we shall soon get the right to vote. We kicked the French out of Algeria; why shouldn’t we do the same here?

The letters were instrumental in the National Front victory in the 1983 local council elections in Dreux.[1]
