Letter to God

There was a man who worked for the Post Office, whose job is to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.
one day, a letter came addressed in a shaky hand writing to God with no actual address or postcode. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.

The Letter read :

Dear God.

I am 83 year old. living on a small pension.
Yesterday some one stole my purse. It had $100 in it. Which was all the money I had until my next pension payment.

Next Sunday is my birthday, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with.
I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.

Please help me ?

Sincerely.
Edna


The postal worker was touched. he showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollar. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $ 96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.

The rest of the day, all the worker felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.

A few days later, another letter came addressed to God and in the same hand.
All the workers 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 gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.

By the way, there was $ 4 missing. I think it might have been those bastards at the Post Office.

Sincerely.
Edna.
