Thank you, I have tried every possible post code. None of them make any sense to me. The envolope was sealed with no damage.
The letter was Signed For so £1.77.0 -
So have you rung Royal Mail yet?0

What you must do is put the envelope and content somewhere safe and keep it for a very long time, just in case someone is trying to scam you.
Unless you get an answer.0 -

It wasn't blank.
It had OP's address on it.
Hence showing, at the very least, that someone had sent a letter with the address on a blank sheet of paper, which, despite some people thinking that another enclosure might have been forgotten, is quite an unusual way to send anything except, perhaps, a mailshot. And mailshots do not usually (ever) come "Signed For".0 -
A solicitor once told me never to sign for anything delivered by recorded mail. This was years ago before the internet and eBay so I have signed for recorded items, but only when I am expecting them. Otherwise, I refuse. If the sender is known to me they will have other ways of getting in touch when their recorded item is returned as undelivered.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

Probably quite a good idea. I cannot imagine a scenario where I receive an unexpected recorded letter and it is good news!0
