	She hasnt heard as far as i know, and im sure Joyce will explain, but i will say nobody sending a white envelope has done anything at all quite the contrary. Iwill give Joyce a call in a bit to see if she has heard anymore.

	At first I wondered if the decoration showed up in the screening as 'unexplained'., but you've said it was empty. Even if this was the case, you'd have thought the re-sealing would have some sort of offical customs/security/post office labelling on it. Trouble is, the opening could have happened anywhere between the post box near Gatwick and your home. :-(

	A cousin in England often sends me info about places of mutual interest that she has visited, usually in A4 sized envelopes. Over the past year or so, they have invariably been opened (slit, not torn). I´ve been blaming the Spanish postal workers, but from what Dutch says, the problem looks to originate in England.

	NEVER SEND MONEY THROUGH THE POST That is the warning given here. It's elementary .................. ............ send money, especially coins, through the post and you are tempting fate every single time.

	I am guessing that where Hayley put 'us this" (not 'use' Dutch) ...she meant to put '.....tell us this'? apologies to Hayley if she didn't :-D I have had a few cases where a hand made card with 'standout' bits ( can't think of a proper term lol) have been opened, also ordinary ones in the past that had been sent with money in which disappeared, a relative who used to send £5 notes to young relatives found they all went missing one Christmas, all posted at her local office.

	This is happening more and more, I get many parcels delivered and latley nearly every one has been tampered with, usually the post office put them in a plastic bag and gives info if what to do if anything is missing, I remember quite a long time ago Joyce I sent you a card with a donation in and that was opened at your end, so its not a new thing just happening a lot more...

	I had the same thing happen the other week.End had been sliced cleanely with a knife blade by the looks of it. I was really annoyed and upset as it was returned items from DVLA with very personal details on them includin NI numbers. I complained to Royal Mail who sent me compensation......Wait for it 6 postage stamps. If my numbers or details get usued illegally they will be paying out a lot more than that methinks :-\|
