just had our post
and in with the post was some very important papers that needed signing and sending back
the problem ive got now is that
the letter is soaking wet as if its been dropped in a puddle
the envolope is filthy and all the paper work inside is soaking wet
 

any ideas on drying it out without it messing the paper work up

ive managed to seperate the pieces of paper apart but they need drying without being damaged

Nick if you have an electric oven dial up a low temperature 50 - 75c, set the individual pages in the racks and leave the door open. 

If you're using a hair drier as STMO suggested, I would keep it at a distance and on the move all the time

ive got them dry but the parts that was the wetest have crimpled up
looks a right mess
going to have to ring them monday morning see if there is any chance of replacements

Sorry to hear that Nick if it's just the appearance of the surface of the paper, why not try putting it between two sheets of glass and leaving for a while to press out or even trying an iron, on a very low setting, protecting the letter page with a plain piece of paper placed on top

The secret is Nick to slow dry the paperwork

I have always placed all in the airing cupboard and left for a day or two.  Should be ok for Monday. 8-) 8-)

Spot on 

I spilt a whole cup of tea in a carrier bag that contained quite a few invoices for parts last week when I wasn't paying attention.
Laying them out flat on the kitchen worktop, dabbing them gently with a bit of kitchen roll to soak up the worst, and then leaving them for a couple of hours had them as good as they were ever gonna get and more than readable still.

The other parts (MCB's, 100A switch, sockets, etc) in the bag however didn't fare as well and had to be thrown away.
