Someone from GA. sent cash in the mail. The envelop arrived damaged with tape on the one end. The person had a note in the envelop, sent cash and arrived with damage on the end and taped. We are sending his envelop with the note and the $2.00 left in it.

If it was damaged in the mail it should have been placed by the USPS in a special plastic or cardboard sleeve with a notation about it being damaged in the mail.

Misunderstanding
I don't think it's ever a good idea to send a lot of cash through the mail. Send a check or a postal money order instead.

An envelope containing a note and $2 was damaged and taped back up.
What's the problem?
Where are you sending it to?
Was the cash a $2 dollar bill?

The way the OP worded it, it sounded like there was a lot more money and only the note and $2 was left before the envelope was resealed. I may have misinterpreted it.

If the usps damaged send a note with it
Op recieved it
The OP left out information which was the purpose of my comment.
And the OP said he's sending it.
Reading between the lines, Red still can't make head nor tails out of the OP.
Puzzled,
Red R.
For all that we know (so far) the envelope may have had $3 inside.
No.
Rred believes the OP when he stated there was only $2.00 inside.
Why would he fib over this slight detail?
(Answer: He wouldn't.)
Asked and Answered,
Red R.
also confused

He said the $18.00 was inside
Red asked:
"Why would the sender send a note stating there was cash inside along with details of how there was damage and the end was taped"?
It is beginning to sound like an inside job.

Lol. I think that was the second letter from the P.O. The communication on this thread is pretty tricky.

Red is of the belief if the OP would send his PayPal credentials, I'm sure most of us here are empathetic enough and would pony up and send him the $16. (Or, $15.) he is "missing,"
In a Generous Mood,
Red R.

Nice, Red. If you send $14.90, Joe will make up the rest.

Joe is a good Joe.
Joyfully,

From the outset, I didn’t understand the point of this thread. And I certainly don’t now.

I’m pretty sure the postman was hungry. A hamburger costs about $16, that is , if he got fries and a drink too. Be glad he didn’t leave a tip. You wouldn’t have gotten a dime.

This is much to do about nothing for just $16…JMHO

I know everyone is going to scream theft and blame the post office. But let me tell you a story from last week.
I got a package returned to me from October. It was going to Canada but never got there as it was marked "undeliverable ". In the package, there were about 10 Phillipine banknotes.
As is coming practice, the "undeliverable" package was routed to the "dead letter office" where it was opened to make sure there was nothing hazardous. It was then readressed and returned to me with a note, similar to the OP.
For some reason, the package arrived at my door OPEN with the banknotes clearly visible. The PO had the package for 5 months and it was open some or most of the time. It went through the mall from the dead letter office to my house, totally open. And the contents were untouched.

Correct me if I am wrong but I pretty sure it was "undeliverable" because they did not know where "Canafa" was?
Hard to get a hamburger , fries and a drink with Philippine banknotes in America.

Nah, everyone knows where Canafa is. It's just south of Labrador

Hard to get a hamburger with gold coins also. But in both cases, you can sell them to a coin dealer on your way to McD

Coins are awesome. And fun. I enjoy this one quite a bit:
Here's a trick question. If you are in Detroit and you go straight south, what is the first foreign country that you will encounter? The correct answer is Canada but most people will say Mexico.

Another trick (coin related) question:
"You have two coins in your hand that equal 55c One is not a nickel. What are the coins?"
Asking the Important Questions,

Half Dollar & Half Dime
Micah Langford - https://www.oldglorycoinsandcurrency.com/
"55 cents, two coins, one is not a nickel..."
Answer for the general public: the other one is a nickel, plus a half dollar.
Only coin collectors would know the half dime option.
Red is hopeful @oldglorycoins did not Google the answer.
Red doesn't think he did, just a bit sceptical.
Correct.
Red also likes the half dimse possible answer too.
Dimse, better than Dime,
Red R.
If we're going full numismatic nerd, the larger coin could be either a half dollar or a 50 cent piece (both denominations have appeared on our coins).
No @RedRocket I did NOT

Thank you for this clarification.
Red is leaning toward wanting to believe you (as stated above).
Sometimes Gullible,
Red R.
This would have made a good Seinfeld episode.
I nominate this post for the Oblio award, named after the 1971 character in The Point, "the round-headed Oblio has had to wear a pointed hat since birth to conceal his "pointless" condition from his pointy-headed peers."
Red didn't know that is probably where the Star Track character, "Oblio-Wan Kenobi" came from.
Ever Increasing My Trivial Knowledge,
Red R.
I assume you meant Star Trek, but in any case Star Wars was probably the reference you needed.
Keep increasing.
Edited to add:
Red thanks you for your clarification.
Red never was a familiar fan of romantic comedies.

Am I the only forum member who finds it irritating when someone keeps referring to themselves in the third person?
