The family found the note stuck to their property in Iorwerth Avenue, Aberystwyth on January 8.
The letter called the family “low life” and said they should take their "accents back to Brummyland".
Warning: Letter contains terms that may be offensive
It read: "Iorwerth Ave was once a quiet, pleasant residential area until a load of sh** from the Midlands hit it.
"Low-life like you should be forced to live in fenced in tinker sites preferably back where you come from.
"Why don't you take your clapped out, crappy boats, jeeps, cars and your hideous vomit inducing accents back to Brummyland and please take a few thousand other yaw yaws (sic) with you."
