    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.

    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.

    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".

    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.

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