Tribal leaders, representing nearly 40% of the population, sent the letter to warn of an uprising similar to that in Egypt.
"Sooner or later," it said, "Jordan will be a destination for a similar uprising like the ones in Tunisia and Egypt because of oppression of freedom and robbing from public funds."
In the letter, Queen Rania was accused of corruption and theft as well as "manipulating in order to promote her public image against the Jordanian people's will."
The letter asked for the king to return lands and farms given to Queen Rania's family.
It also said Jordan had been suffering from the growing influence of "corrupt businessmen who surround the decision makers, affect political decisions and ignore national interests."
Such a letter criticising the royal family can mean a three year jail sentence in Jordan.
