Dear Mayor,
I was visiting your lovely city the other day, and while walking down Main Street I found a nickle. There it was, just lying in the street on the edge of a puddle. I picked it up and asked everyone around me if they'd dropped the nickle, but nobody claimed it.
It's a 1998 nickle with plenty of scratches and marks on it (I don't know if that's the way it originally was or if it's from the foot and car traffic that moved over it repeatedly before I found it). I was wondering if your lovely city had a lost and found office, if anyone's come by to report a missing nickle, and how I would go about sending the nickle in.
Thank you so much. Your photo on your city's website makes you look gorgeous. Your city has fantastic drainage.

What a wonderful note, John.
We don’t have a lost and found but I think the best idea would be to donate the nickel to the relief campaign for victims of the Tsunami. It won’t buy much but it’s
a good symbol that says a lot about all of us as people.
Best to you.
R.T.
P.S.Yes, we are pretty darn proud of our drainage!
P.S.S.: You are very flattering but should know that a. pictures can lie and b. the job is aging me fast |
