At the Post Office

A nice young worker from Australia Post was sorting through her regular envelopes, when she discovered a letter addressed as follows:

GOD
c/o Heaven

Upon opening the envelope, a letter enclosed told of how a little old lady who had never asked for anything in her life, was desperately in need of \$100 and was wondering if God could send her the money

Well, the young lady was deeply touched and made a collection from her fellow workmates and collected \$90 and sent it off to the old lady

A few weeks later another letter arrived addressed to God, so the young lady opened it and it read ``Thank you for the money, God, I deeply appreciate it, however I only received \$90. It must have been those people at the Post Office''
