Narrative:

While in the galley, passenger seated in seat xy or xz motioned that he needed something to write with. I gave him my pen and about 10 mins later he returned it. Later the #1 flight attendant asked if I noticed anything strange about the passenger informing me of a note he had written that someone was trying to kill him. I had no other contact with this passenger. He did not speak throughout the flight and drank only orange juice. He was quiet throughout this flight and caused no disturbance.
