Contract from T?

[Snarplord XVI]

I am currently playing a Dunmer Vampire Lord who finished the Dark Brotherhood questline recently. Shortly after finishing that questline, I was attacked by Hired Assassins. They had this contract from a 'T': http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=748984846

Later, on Solsthiem in the Skaal Village, I was attacked by another group of Hired Assassins plus a named Vigilant, who had this contract: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=748984892

Same person. Is this related to Dawnguard? I've played the Vampire side of Dawnguard on a previous character around a year ago and never had this happen.

I once had a dark brotherhood assassin go for me sent by maven for an alleged theft even though I had never been to riften.

On the road you get crazy random events.

Yes, I know that you can get attacked for stealing, but the contract is always a set format and they put their full name. They also don't attack multiple times.

I'd say it's from a mod - load order? I know Inconsequential NPCs or Populated Lands, Towns and Paths (I usually have both so I forget which) adds assassins but I don't think they're labelled as Hired, and the note they have is different.

If you click on the assassin or the note (probably need to drop it first) in the console you can compare the first two characters to your mod list - it'll be in hex so you'll need to compare to whichever of the two (in MO it's priority and mod index, with mod index being the relevant one, in NMM it's the other way round with slightly different names, I think?)

I've read on uesp that such contracts is part of random encounters of original game, its like relatives of a person who you killed before hire thugs to kill you

Nope, there's three or four instances in the vanilla game when someone will attack you with a 'contract' in their inventory after you kill them:

Hired Thugs - theft. If you steal something (regardless whether you're caught or not) the owner (or someone linked to the location - e.g. in Dragonsreach it's, like, the cook or something) will hire thugs to 'teach you a lesson. They carry a note from the person who hired them[www.uesp.net]

Hired Thugs - murder. Pretty much the same deal except this is for having murdered someone. They carry a note from your victim's relative[www.uesp.net]

Normally only one set of Hired Thugs will come after you per playthrough.

Dark Brotherhood Assassin. These are entirely random after level 5 (they are NOT in response to ANYTHING you have done), but should stop once you've completed either With Friends Like These... or Destroy the Dark Brotherhood (i.e. after you've either joined them or beaten them.) They carry a note signed by Astrid[www.uesp.net]

Thalmor Death Squad. Can happen pretty much any time after level 8, apparently, although I've been lucky and usually don't encounter them until late enough in the game that it makes sense. They carry an Execution Order[www.uesp.net]

As you can see and as OP said, this is a completely different note.

I'm thinking it's from a mod you have. I'd try going to the temple in Riften and see if there's anyone whose name starts with a "T" waiting there.
