One Hundred Pounds From God

One Hundred Pounds From God

A Post Office worker at the main sorting office finds an unstamped, poorly hand-written envelope addressed to God.

He opens it and discovers it is from an elderly lady, distressed because some thief robbed her of her last £100. She will be cold and hungry for the rest of the month if she doesn’t receive some divine intervention.

The worker organises a collection amongst the other postal workers, who dig deep and come up with £96. They get it to her by special courier the same morning.

A week later, the same postal worker recognizes the same hand on another envelope. He opens it and reads:

“Dear God, Thank you for the £100. This month would have been so bleak without it.”

“P.S. It was £4 short but that was probably those thieving gits at the Post Office.”
