WoooHooo £90 Cheque but not for me!!!

Had a letter posted yesterday for someone who doesn't live here :mad: opened it up and found a £90 cheque enclosed to the unknown person it was sent to.
So i e-mailed the well known important company about this with the details and explained and today received an e-mail back with the following:

Thank you for your email.
Your enquiry has been passed to the appropriate department for investigation.
In the meantime I would advise you forward the cheque back to the address below with a covering letter explaining the situation in order for the details to be updated.
I am sorry if this causes an inconvenience.
Regards


Now i will send the cheque back with a letter explaining what's happened but i will also claim the 1st Class stamp money back too..........cos that ain't money saving :rotfl:

    How frustrating for you! I second what Sparky says, hopefully you'll get a big cheque soon and one that's meant for you!
