On September 22, 2023 you printed an opinion from K. Clifford.

Ms. Clifford questions where some of her mail has gone and wonders if more than theft from USPS employees is happening.

I share her concern. Each time I receive an “occasion” card — birthday, holiday, Mother’s Day card — my envelope comes with a slit at the bottom of the envelope. “Occasion” cards are easy to identify, usually a colored envelope, square in size.

Someone is looking for cash inside these envelopes. They create a slit, tape the envelope around and can easily see inside.

Fellow mail recipients, always put the crease side of the card you are sending down into the envelope.
Keep a eye on your envelopes. I’ve reported these envelope openings to the post office with no response.
