the dead letter file...
A postal worker was sorting undeliverable mail to try and
see if any of the addresses on the letters might be figured
out and delivered. There was one letter clearly addressed
to "God". No other address or anything. So,
thinking there might be additional instructions inside
and out of curiosity he decided to open it. Inside there
was a card from an 87 year old lady living in a local Nursing
home. She wrote:
Dear God, Please help me. Yesterday while I was taking my
afternoon nap, someone stole my purse with all my money
inside. I have no money now to last me till my next Social
Security check arrives. I had my last 100 dollars in it and
now it's gone. And to make matters worse, I have invited
2 of my church lady friends over for Sunday dinner and now
I have no money to by any food for our dinner and I have no relatives
or friends to ask for help. I'm so upset.. God can you
please help me somehow?
The postal worker was so touched by her letter, he showed
it around and all the postal workers really wanted to help
her. So they all pitched in what they could and it came to
96 dollars which they put back in her envelope and mailed
it back to her expecting nothing in return for their good
deed.
They all felt so good about helping this sweet senior citizen.
And sure enough, the next week another letter showed up
addressed to God from the same lady. They all gathered around
to see what she had sent. Her thank you card read as follows:
Dear God, Thank you so much God for helping me and making
our dinner such a happy occasion. But there was one problem.
Your envelope only had 96 dollars inside so there was 4 dollars
missing. We talked about it and decided it must have been
those lying, theiving cocksuckers working at the post
office that stole the 4 dollars. Can you please punish their
sorry asses?
