He has invested many years ago, he doesn't remember how much and he has never been able to figure it out himself so now im trying to help him on the first page it says "bitcoin" his mail and then some letters and numbers in a string, and then some random notes and a few shopping lists, but on many pages is the exact same shopping list consisting of 7 items so i think that might be the code but idk i have not yet found anthing that could be the code can anyone help me getting his bitcoins back

Okay i will try to figure it out, i think he bought the bitcoin himself but with help from an old friend who he no longer has contact with maybe the first few letters of each item on the list is the first few letters of words in the phrase

Just for my curiosity did you have any luck? That long string you mentioned might be the public address. If it is you can look up what's in the wallet to see if it's worth your time to mess with.
