I don't know much about cryptogram techniques, but with this one I guessed that "JN FM" was "TO BE", then saw that would make the author's name "E_E..." which immediately broke the whole thing open.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
