One day after we learned nurse Jacintha Saldanha left not one, but three suicide notes, we’re now learning more about what she wrote in her emotional letters.

In one note, Saldanha, a 46-year-old wife and mother-of-two, criticized her senior colleagues at the King Edward VII hospital in central London over how she was being treated in wake of the hoax.

“One of the letters, which is the longest, deals with the hospital and is critical in its tone,” a source close to the family told UK’s The Daily Mail.

“Needless to say, (her husband) Ben Barboza wants a full inquiry into what happened and he wants to make sure the truth comes out.

“Within the letter, Jacintha calls into question some of the treatment she received at the hospital.”

In another note, Saldanha -- a native of India and a devout Catholic -- describes how she struggled to come to terms with the prank call by Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian.

The third and final letter is practical and deals with her funeral plans, according to the Mail.

Two of the notes were found near her body at staff quarters at the private hospital in central London, and the third note was among her possessions.

In addition, Saldanha had also sent a number of emails and made telephone calls that police believe might help explain why she decided to take her own life.
