If you also want to know about the text, then that is probably utf8
encoded and converted to base64:

from base64 import b64decode

coded=(b'RGVhciBEci4gQmVubmV0dCwKCkJsb3JwISBCbGVlcCEKCgotLQpNYWlsYm90IEl'
        b'uYy4KMDEwMTAxIEJvdCBCb3VsZXZhcmQKQm90aGFtIENpdHkKQsO2dGxhbmQK')

uncoded = b64decode(coded).decode('utf8')
print(uncoded)

output:

Dear Dr. Bennett,

Blorp! Bleep!
