So a few weeks ago I lost my wallet when I went to a friend's wedding a few hundred miles away. Then my mom called me and told me said she had gotten a call from someone about my missing wallet. They called her because her number was my emergency contact on my medical I.D. card. She told them that I had already went to the DMV and gotten a new license. So the person mailed me my wallet with this note:
"Sorry you had to wait at the DMV! That isn't fun! Here's your wallet. "
So I've decided to send them a little thank you. This is the card I got, it says "Most Thougtful": (also, this pic is an uber shameless way to show off the tacky gear I bought yesterday at my city's pride event)
On the inside I wrote this:
"Hello Good Samaritan,
I'm writing this to say thank you for returning my wallet a few weeks back. It was tremendously kind. A lesser person would've kept it for him or herself and revelled in the riches they'd found. Granted, I didn't have any cash in there, but there was a Chico State I.D. card which can get you discounted lunch at the college cafeteria on Wednesdays... so thank you for avoiding any such temptation.
As a small gesture of showing my thanks I've included a little gift. I feel that the subject matters are adequately representative of our interaction: Travel and Treasure.
Thank you very, very much,
Wade"
And the little gift is an old book that includes the novels Treasure Island and Guilliver's Travels.
So what do you guys think? Is it appropriate, tacky, funny, dumb? Do you think the stupid joke I included in the card will make sense?
