An old lady sent a letter to Santa asking for some money to help her pay her electricity bill. "Dear Santa. Times are tough this year. My husband recently passed away and I had to cover the costs of his funeral. The dog is sick and I don't have enough money to pay the electricity bill. The grand children also need Christmas presents. Can you please help? I need $490".
The staff at the Australia Post mail centre received the letter and felt sorry for the lady. They did a quick whip around the building and managed to raise $420.
They addressed a letter back to the lady and put the money in an envelope and sent it to her from Santa.
A week or so after Christmas, the lady sent Santa another letter. "Dear Santa. Thank you very much for taking the time to write back to me. The dog is a lot better and your money certainly helped me no end. The electricity remains on and I could afford to buy the grandkids some gifts. I did however notice that there was only $420. I reckon it must have been those thieving b......rds at Australia Post who took the rest".
