Ann, Hi, I don't wish to top your post but today when I got back to my
shop after coffee this morning there was a large express letter (Like
the US mail uses.) stuffed in the door frame. I opened it to find 2X $50
notes, and 3 X $100 notes.!!!!!! For those of you without a calculator,
that's 400 dollars US.
The package/envolope was marked .."EXTREMELY
URGENT......PuroletterUltra."
Dunno who left it there on wot carrier but if this aint stupid I dunno
wot is !
The money it contained was from Canada for a BMW transmission I had 4
sale.
If I ever find out who the carrier is I'll send 'em a rocket. The thing
is that now the company/sender can't prove I actually got the
packet/letter. ..mmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if I could.......nooooo. that
wouldn't be honest. See wot I mean ? ......'onest DK...
Scrap Iron Racin' .
