Angel,
I agree the note was fake and its intention was to direct suspicion away from the house. But the note was also naive as hell and failed to accomplish its purpose because of it's silly wording. This leads me to believe the ridiculously-worded note, with all of its unnecessary tough talk, was likely the product of a young male.
However, that doesn't mean the young writer(s) didn't include some clues. Everyone has an ego, and they sometimes like to toy with others to show-off how clever they are. S.B.T.C may be a significant clue if it can be credibly linked to an item of evidence yet to be uncovered.

Bluecrab,
It makes no sense at all that Burke or a friend wrote the note. For many reasons. Let's start with how it fits - or does not fit - in with other facts.
You propose that Burke and/or friend wrote the note and left it for his mother or father to discover? Then at what point did Patsy and/or John discover that it was Burke and/or friend who was responsible for the crime?
This is important because you also often talk about the LIE the Ramseys told about Burke not being awake that morning when his voice is heard during the 911 call exposing their lie and attempt to cover for Burke. So... you cannot have it both ways. If they were covering for Burke already at the point of the 911 call which you claim, then they KNEW about him and/or friend being invovled in the crime at this point and KNEW the note was a fake and written by those boys (according to you). So WHY would they use that silly note themselves???? It makes no sense. They would have torn it up and threw it away, or burned it had they believed those boys wrote it.
Secondly, that note in no way indicates authorship by very young boys.
Like they are going to use terms such as: attache', gentlemen, southern common sense, and hence, fat cat, and KNOW the $118,000 bonus amount.
But Patsy would. And did use those words and phrases herself.
The note not only has her linguistics but her style as well. The drama, the over-doing (3 pages!) the punctuation habits (exclamation points) use of acronym, indentations etc.
There is not one bit of evidence that Burke Ramsey wrote that note.
But there is a plethora of evidence that his mother did.
I believe Patsy wrote that note during her frantic and panicked state of terror for her son and what he had caused and what may happen to him.
She was desparate. She had just lost her beloved daughter and she was not about to let them take away her son.
That note was, in her mind, her best hope that the diversion tactics she came up with that night would work.
And it did - for a short while.
