In conclusion I think if a letter is addressed to your premises but to an person unknown you should open it a.) for your own protection
and/or b.) to discover the sender so you can inform them their information is in error and so prevent further communications on the subject being made.

Or just put "return to sender, not at this address" on the envelope and stick it back in the postbox so you don't commit a crime.
