Was it a plain envelope? Was it in a pillar box near you?
Or main Post Office
If a pillar box waiting for postman to empty is no good, you need to go to sorting office, or was it addressed to someone, the envelope with ££££ in

I would make sure I was there when the box is emptied.If the postie wont let you have it follow him to the post office or sorting depot and sort it out there.If it gets into the system you will be lucky to see it again imo.Good luck with it. :y

Be at the post box when the postie arrives. Stand in front of his van or lock yourself in it if you have to & dial 999. I know you have no proof that envelope is yours but no one else is looking for it as no one else knows...except me!!!! ::)

Put another envelope in the post box (A4 size). and write on it with a black marker.

F.A.O SORTING OFFIVE MANAGER.

I ACCIDENTLY POSTED A BLANK ENVELOPE WITH CONFIDENTIAL PAPERWORK IN IT

( WITH CASH IN IT) (Read what I put later).


PLEASE CHECK INSIDE.

Then put the ammount you posted and contact phone details with address inside it.

Then if you can be there at the collection time (They are usually on time) just be aware that the postie /collection may stand his ground as by law, no one is allowed to touch the post once you posted it.  Take the van registration, ask him where it goes from there and ask him to ring his boss to see if you can meet at the sorting office.   Do not tell the collection guy of the second envelope or of the cash in the blank one, then if they are not emptied out then he may have lifted them

Hope all goes well.

The two envelopes should confirm you are the owner of the money, also take pics/video of the A4 envelope and pictures of you showing what is writeen on the front whilst holding then posting it as added proof, try not to draw attention to what you are doing though.  :y

Hope it all works out mate, I would guess that any blank envelope will be opened at some point, either the post box or the sorting office, and I just hope for your sake it is done is an official manner.....

Best of luck and fingers crossed for you :y

Not in this area! Usually anything up to an hour late, and have even come early before now.  Give yourself a big safety window.  Good luck.

Have you strangled your son yet? :)

I would contact the main sorting office at dawn on Monday and explain the situation in the hope they could send someone out to assist, also put numerous pieces of A4 paper in post box with "blank envelope posted in error, please call.......)

Easily done.
