The Salamandar letter was a fraudulent letter concerning mormon church history and was created by Mark Hofmann in the 1980s. Mark Hofman also sold the church several historical counterfit documents which had fooled Gordon B. Hinckley

If I understood what you were asking about correctly, the Salamander letter was written by Mark Hoffmann the bomber. Its purpose (along with all the other documents he forged) was to discredit the Mormon church. There is a book about Mark Hoffmann. The book is called
The Mormon Murders by Steven Naifeh
You will also see things like a $3.00 bill from the Kirtland Banking Society and a long list of other documents.
Another book that I found that sounds interesting on the topic but haven't seen yet is:
Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders by Linda Sillitoe

I think this is what was asked:
Is the mormon a religion or a splinter group where does the salamander come in beliefs?
The LDS church didn't splinter; in fact, Joseph Smith was told not to join any church, IMHO, because that would make it look like a splinter of whatever church he joined.
The salamander? That was a big hoax thought up by one Mark Hoffmann. He was put in prison for forgery among other things. So, there was no salamander.

I have never heard of that before. There are A LOT of misconceptions about the LDS church. This could be one of them.
