Margaret, that is wonderful news........ I did mention it to ST Anthony (not that I was a believer, but BC is his most fervent convert, lol) ....

It really does make you feel good to know that people are so kind and honest... the person who posted it, and the postie who delivered it stamp-less!

Love

Daff xxxx

I know it is unusual but there are still some people who don't have an account.

If I need to help my lad out, occasionally, I can transfer money and it is in his account in two hours usually.

My son lived in a shared house, dodgy set up, so I got my building society to transfer money to his account in the same society, different town, and he had no trouble accessing it.

No, not illegal in UK Berona, is it where you are. (sorry senior moment can't remember if you are in Oz or NZ.)

Sorry to hear of this.
Have you asked at the police station incase it's been handed in?
My daughter found a £20 note in the street earlier this year and handed it in to the police. She got it back recently because nobody claimed it, but told me she'd given it to a charity, because it was never hers in the first place.

I hope you hear some good news soon.

Margaret - I'm so sorry this happened to you, but with respect, I doubt if your insurance would cover it because isn't sending cash by mail illegal?
I hope someone sent it on for you or you find it yourself.

Margaret I do hope the letter gets delivered to your daughter. Maybe in future you'd be better writing her a cheque - it would cost a lot less to send and be safer, or you could transfer it to her bank if you have online or phone banking set up.

Fingers crossed, there are some honest people around so hope one of those found your envelope.

Sorry this has happened to you Margaret. My daughter lost her purse a few weeks back, and even though it had her driving licence in it, with her address on, and a tidy sum of money, no-one handed it in.
Even if someone just popped your envelope into the post box, it would've been delivered to your daughter, though she would've had to pay the postage. Better that than losing the money.
I hope someone has had the decency to do this.

Hopefully somebody would just post it,unless it landed in a puddle or blown on the road etc.
Have a good look though, you just might have left it some place else ie some where safe,another jacket or bag even.

AnninGlos Report 8 Dec 2009 12:46

Just a thought, give it a few days, if it doesn't turn up check if your house contents insurance covers lost cash.

If it was this morning Margaret and somebody put it in the box minus a stamp it will still get there but will have to be collected from the post office sorting office and will take longer because the recipient will have to collect it and pay handling charge etc for it.

Mauatthecoast Report 8 Dec 2009 12:39

Hi Margaret
Think as next option I would ask post office to have someone check the post box when next collection is due.
Some honest person could have kindly posted it off for you
Good luck!

Hope someone hands it in or posts if for you
Have you asked at the post office if anyone handed in a letter or if the postman who picks up the post could check the post box to see if anyone dropped in a letter with no stamp on
