[nilesfunnies] Fwd: Letter to God

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose
job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.

One day just before Christmas, a letter landed on
his desk, simply addressed in shaky handwriting to "God".

With no other clue on the envelope, he opened the
letter and read, "Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow living
on the State pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse.
It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had in
the world and no pension due until after Christmas.

Next week is Christmas and I had invited two of my
friends over for Xmas dinner. Without that money, I have
nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and
you are my only hope. God; can you please help me?"

The postal worker was really touched, and put a copy
of the letter up on the Staff Notice board, at the main
sorting office where he worked.

The letter touched the other postmen and they all
dug into their pockets and had a whip round. Between
them they raised £96.

Using an official franked Post Office envelope, they
sent the cash on to the old lady, and for the rest of the day,
all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing
they had done.

Christmas came and went. A few days later, another
letter simply addressed to "God" landed in the Sorting Office.
Many of the postmen gathered around while the letter was
opened.

It read, "Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough
for what you did for me? Because of your generosity,
I was able to provide a lovely dinner for my friends.
We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of your
wonderful gift - in fact we haven't gotten over it and our
Vicar is beside himself with joy.

By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it must
have been those thieving cunts at the Post Office."
