If you take all the capital letters in the letters it says "HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY"

I suppose...

Richard is pranking you?

(Tried to decrypt using a Vigenere cipher, still meaningless...)

It's obvious your good friend Richard and family teamed up together to play an April Fool's Joke! But where were they hiding to watch you? Perhaps his house watching you from a hidden or security camera laughing at you? LOL! Sorry I couldn't help myself. Then I noticed the scrambled letters. Focusing on unscrambling the letters I come up with nothing! Looks like a false lead to me and a time waster in finding the solution but this tactic is what makes it even funnier! My answer is still do "Nothing!" but am I correct?
