It is fairly easy to find the real owners of any corporation, llc, llp, etc. in most states.
Start with the return address on the piece mailed as it will divluge the state in question.
Find the Secretary of State's website of the state in question, and search for the business name.
In most states the file produced will not only identify the resident agent ( if the business is foreign to the state it is in); it should have every document ever filed by the business, including the formation papers. The formation papers will identify the owners (except in Nevada, and possibly a few other states).
If discovered it is a foreign business, it should identify in what state the business is domiciled. Go to that state, and repeat the process. The business will be required to file the formation papers in the domiciled state. Except in Nevada and possibly a few other states, those papers should identify the owners and their current addresses.
A few years ago I had a problem with one of these companies, located in Chicago. They would not leave me alone, until I showed them I found out how to contact all the owners, at their home addresses in Florida.
The process I have described should take only a few minutes, never more than an hour to complete. Be sure to copy every document for your files. Good luck.
