Get Money In Your Mailbox


That’s what happened to an unemployed 61 year old man in Japan. One particular day he went to get his mail and found one million dollar ($10,000 US dollars) in cash from an anonymous benefactor. Along with the money was a note saying, “Please make use of this in your everyday life,” written with a black ballpoint pen.

Instead of following the advice, the jobless man turned the money over to the police.

The person who left the money in the mail box has until June 27 to claim the money or the money will belong to the unemployed man.

If you think getting one million yen in cash in the mailbox is a lot of money, this is even better. Last year, in the city of Kyoto, a 67 year old woman received an envelope containing 10 million yen ($100,650 US dollars) of cash in her mailbox.

I would not mind at all getting large sum of money in mail. Maybe I should move to Japan and see if my luck could bring me those money by mail.

What would you do if this happen to you?

    I am pretty sure I would NOT take the check to the police! Call me a skeptic, but I would take it to my bank and see if it was the real deal. If they verified that it was, then I was deposit that sucker ASAP and spend, spend, spend. Just doing my part to stimulate the economy, don’t you know. ;)
