@Drifloon:
Yeah, the PS3 version uses the same background as the original game.
However, the text makes it very clear that the letter wasn't sealed or next to an envelope, at least at the time they found it:
Quote:
Near a water jug on the side table, there was a single sheet of writing paper.
It was accompanied by a short message and a fountain pen which had probably been used to write it...
As for why we see the sealed envelope in the background, that can easily stand for the impression given to Battler when Gohda later tells him this story. After all, the letter uses the words "intellectual night", which are never used outside the Beatrice letters in Umineko.

...Except, the fact that it uses a phrase like "intellectual night" in a letter that sounds like it was written by a schoolyard bully doesn't seem to make sense. The author's idea of "intellectual" is apparently "Now, their bellies are full in the land of sweets!", which makes no sense, unless it's a subtle jab that's far too subtle for me to understand.

In other words, the culprit is either insane beyond the point of rational thought, or they intentionally included the words "intellectual night" for some other reason.
