Don and his checks

We have a table in leaving room where we keep old letters in case someone forgets to pick theirs. One fine evening in July Tandeep was shuffling through old letters and he came across nice Christmas card for Don. The card envelop was open so Tandeep peeped into the card he saw a 100$ bill in Don's name. Don too was there and he pleasantly shocked. As it turns out Don never carefully opened the card in last 7 months and so missed 100$ gift, which, if Tandeep hadn't noticed, would have gone to trash. Later, Tandeep regretted that why did he disclosed his revelation to Don:))

Thats not the end of story. Recently Mitesh was browsing through old receipts kept on top of freezer and he found a really old check with oil splotches on it. As expected it belonged to Don and it was tax refund from IRS. The check seemed to have been void long back and Don says, "it was just 50$, man!".

As history repeats itself, Don was going through his back and "discovered" a really old check from time before he just started his TA. It was around 4-5 months old and after getting TA after hard struggle he never bothered to cash his library checks. So, inmates! keep on lookout for old uncashed checks before trashing junk posts and receipts.
