FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found the claim to be false.

Firstly, we ran a keyword search and found multiple reports stating that US President Joe Biden said that outgoing president Donald Trump had left him a ‘very generous’ letter in the Oval Office.

A similar report by also done by TOI and News 18.

We also found a tweet by CNN’s White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins quoting President Biden on the letter.

The tweet read: “The president wrote a very generous letter,” Biden says referring to Trump. “Because it was private, I won’t talk about it until I talk to him. But it was generous.”

ABC News also posted a video of President Biden where he mentioned that the letter was very generous.

Moreover, we also checked and compared the viral letter with the previous letters by President Trump and found that the date format and the seal at the top of the letter is different as compared to other communication on White House letter.

Hence, from the above information, it is clear that the viral letter in question is fake.
