You could put 'check enclosed', and then put a note inside saying 'Thank you for checking the enclosed'

The company concerned here;

hadn't agreed a charge either but they still paid out £195 for time and electricity as well as the £25 court filing fee rather than allow the case to proceed to court.

I suspect the poster I responded to hadn't intended it that way - but I like it.

No, I am opening them, reading them and did try to action them by advising the company in question this person does not live at my address.

For the record it is regarding a unpaid gym membership, seems this person has joined a local gym using my address, but alas the gym manager also does not give a hoot.

It's illegal to open someone else's post so I would put a line through them and return to sender.

Not this old chestnut again ... No it isn't. It's only illegal to do so if the intent is to defraud or otherwise cause harm to the intended recipient.
