Thank You Card

[El Presidente]

This letter was sent to the Lions Bay School Principal's office after the

school had sponsored a luncheon for seniors. An elderly lady received a new

radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you.

This story is a credit to all humankind.

Dear Lions Bay School,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior Citizens

luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the West Bay Home for the

Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone and I want to thank

you for the kindness shown to a forgotten old lady. My roommate is 95 and

has always had her own radio; but before I received one, she would never let

me listen to hers, even when she was napping.

The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of

pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to

mine, and I told her to **** off.

Thank you for that opportunity.

Sincerely,

Edna

Ha ha, beautiful. Just goes to show you don't live to be 84 without learning something along the way.

Gotta love the sentiment.

Please..no one go to snopes and tell me this isn't real... let me believe

[Leopolis Semper Fidelis]

I just can't imagine an 84-year-old woman quoting the 'colourful' phrase "f... off" when writing to a school. If the pupils used such an expression in their classwork, they'd be ticked off.

I love a good story with a touch of schadenfreude at the end.

Haha. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
