There are no "his documents", since he doesn't exist!

The 98033 ZIP code exists and is indeed for Kirkland, Washington 
(state), USA - but there appears to be no Moss Road in Kirkland.  206 
is the area code for Seattle, Washington; Kirkland is the other side 
of Lake Washington and uses the area code 425 instead (though it 
probably used 206 in the past).  The exchange code 555 is frequently 
used to create fictitious telephone numbers in the North American 
Numbering Plan area.  Actually, only a hundred numbers in that range 
are reserved and these do not include 3412, but it is nevertheless 
very likely that this number was intended to be fictitious.

No-one except you is likely to be "messing up" any documents.  You 
must have incorporated some example text, perhaps in the form of a 
sample database of addresses or of a template with the sample details 
included as placeholders.

This depends on where your document originated and what it is.  If 
you have obtained an invoice template, each time you invoke it you 
will get a fresh copy of the sample text.  If the data is meant to be 
yours, you will want to edit the template to include your own 
details; then each time you use it you will see your own address and 
telephone number.  If this is meant to be your customer, you will 
obviously need to replace the sample text with your customer's actual 
details each time.

Don't blame "Jonathan King" and don't blame LibreOffice!

I trust this helps.
