Hi Margaret, I would ALWAYS put a stamp on it and post it.... many many honest people still in the world.

I then read all the other answers, and found that someone had posted it.
Well done to that honest person, and I'm happy for you.
We have all done things like that, and lost out.
When my son was at uni, I gave him a bank card and he could go and take the money out when he needed it. Prior to that, we had lost so much money through the post.
Good luck,
Deanna X

Joan, have you managed to get the unfranked stamps off the envelopes? The new stamps have little perforated areas in the middle to stop people reusing them, supposed to rip apart if you take them off an envelope, but I am going to try putting mine in the freezer, saw recently a tip on here that worked when I wanted to open a letter to put something else in that I had forgotten!

Much easier than steaming lol and less of a giveaway!

Hi Margaret,
We haven't ' spoken ' before, but I've been reading your thread and hoping that the envelope would turn up. So pleased to read that your daughter's received it. It's nice to know that there are still a lot of honest people about. So happy for you and your hubby!
Wishing you and your family a Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Best regards, Sallie.

Wonderful news! A really heartwarming story. Good idea to put a letter in the local paper, to thank the "poster".

That's brilliant news, Margaret, how good and happy you must feel. I wonder if the person who found it took it round themselves, strange it would get delivered if it had no stamp on. I wouldn't have thought it would get through the sorting office otherwise. Maybe you could write a letter of thanks to the person via a local newspaper letters page.

I was sitting on the bus thinking of you today and wondering if you had heard anything. What wonderful news, well done to the person who posted it and postie who didn't collect for underpayment, hope what goes around comes around for them in the future.
