It's Christmas time and an elederly lady wants to help some local children and buy some toys to the value of $100. She writes a letter to Santa Claus outlining her needs and and addresses it to the North Pole (of course). The mail people at Australia Post find the letter knowing full well it won't get to the man in question. The manager, feeling sorry for the lady, decides that he would like to help the lady and do a fund raiser in their office to provide her with the cash she needs. All they can riase however is $87.50. They decide that it is close enough, bag it up and post the money to the elderly lady. A week or so later, another letter arrives at the mail centre addressed to Santa. The manager opens it up and it reads:
Dear Santa. Thank you very much for reading my letter. I dearly love these children and want them to have a nice Christmas this year. They are under priviledged and would enjoy the toys I propose to buy. I know I requested $100 as this would have done exactly what I wanted but have only found $87.50 in your letter back. That will certainly go a long way. I reckon I could find the rest I need. I do however blame those thieving *******s at Australia Post for taking the rest.
