Well, it was proved the writing didn't match Maria's and the style was supposed to be of a older person.

I wonder if the messages, who were supposed to be more than 2, where all signed Ushiromiya Maria because in each plan Yasuda planned to have Maria survive along with Battler till the end.
It would make sense she would find hard to kill Maria personally.
Banquet however was written by the duo Hachijo Toya and Toya might have had no problem in 'killing' Maria earlier in his tale.
Also it was Eva Beatrice who chose Maria as next victim. This can be a metaphor to imply an interference in the original Beatrice/Yasuda's plans in which Maria wasn't supposed to be killed that early in the tales.

Unless the message was written by Ghost Maria. ^_-
There are some stories who're written in first person by a character who is... well dead during the story (or dies before the story reaches its end), or he's in coma or something.
Of course if that's the case no one would believe it was the real Maria that was writing the story but hey, it could be interesting.
