Question.....sent a friend a 100 bill in her Christmas card on Tuesday

[a kennedy]

hoping she received it.....should I expect a thank you or not??? Do you possibly think someone might have absconded with it? Haven’t heard anything yet. Should I be worried??? Do I mention to her that I sent a card??? Is it to early to even get a response?? Thank you for your thoughts.

1. Yes it's too early. Yes you should get a thanks.

I've always sent money by mail. Never lost it yet.

[a kennedy]

2. I kinda thought so too......thanks.

3. Added to my post.

4. With no mail until Tuesday

it might ease your mind to give her a call. Personally, I never send cash unless it's dollar bills to my grandsons in their birthday cards. They're only 3 and 8 so wouldn't be that much of a loss....
It is the USPS's busiest time too.....

A thank you is a must imo....


Happy Holidays!

5. Have NEVER sent that much before, but shes in a tough spot.....

will wait a few more days.

9. I have mailed cash to people I know are struggling

I fold the bill and put it in a regular larger card, not one of those cash-cards which seem to always be the same size

6. I would give it a few days. We don't open any of our cards until Christmas, for example. n/t

7. Yah, thats crossed my mind too......

Thanks.

8. Did you do it specifically to earn a "thank you", or just to be generous and kind?

If it were me, I'd send the gift then forget about it. If I didn't get a thank you then it wouldn't matter to me, because I've already forgotten giving it.

[a kennedy]

13. No, no, didnt give to get a thank you......

16. If I mail anything of value, I expect to hear from

The recipient.

I've had more than one pkg lost in the mail - even mailed bills, back in the pre-net days. The post office returned my IRS filing once! The pkg was badly torn!! Not making this up.

You made an offensive assumption.

14. Safer to send a back loaded cash or gift card the recipient can use as needed. nt

[onethatcares]

15. sent it.

now be quiet about it and don't lose her friendship over an overt thank you.

give like you can afford it and no thanks are needed.

But that's just me.

[Duppers]

17. I'd have your same concerns.

Have a Merry Christmas anyway!

[a kennedy]

18. Thank you.

19. If you don't get a "Thank you" by New Year's ...

Next time mail it to me,
and I will definitely thank you.

[a kennedy]

20. Awwwwwww, youre a sweetie.

21. So just curious......did she ever let you know she got your card?

[a kennedy]

22. Yes, yes, so she did send me a e-note......

saying thank you, and that I was her best customer.......she is my hairdresser, and has had just a horrible 2017. So I feel great she got it and that it helped her have a better Christmas.

[Fla Dem]

23. Good, I'm glad. And you did a nice thing for her.
