This Note A Postal Customer Received About Why Their Mail Has Blood On It Is Wild Y'all
06 August 2019
@CenTexAg/Twitter
Have you ever wondered what kinds of adventures your mail has gone through en route to your mailbox?
Perhaps it seems a bit beat up, or has scuff marks all over it like it got caught in a machine, or the envelope is slightly ripped.
<p>Well, for one postal customer, they got a surprise when they received some mail with a little bit extra on it: blood.</p><p>Luckily for them, the Postal Service assumed that they might be a bit freaked out wondering how it got there, so they included a helpful note describing exactly what it was and how it got there.</p><p><div id="c7da91bc-8e44-492f-b7fd-c382c0e55bda"></div></p><p><strong>Twitter user @CenTexAg shared the bizarre note, which quickly went viral.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
</p><div id="09c67" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="NRUIO21565124177"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1157008110374051845" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">I'm not even mad. I'm impressed. https://t.co/GSiTzw1K32</div> — Adam (@Adam)<a href="https://twitter.com/CenTexAg/statuses/1157008110374051845">1564687204.0</a></blockquote></div>
<p></p><p><strong>The note starts:</strong></p><blockquote><em>"Dear Postal Customer,"</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"Due to wildly unforeseen circumstances the following letter has inadvertently come into contact with animal blood."</em></blockquote><p><strong>It then describes a wild fight between a hawk and a raven in the back of the delivery truck:</strong></p><blockquote><em>"The carrier reported that while they were in their postal vehicle getting the next set of mail ready to be delivered, a hawk chasing a raven flew into the back of the vehicle. The had a momentary scuffle until they promptly exited the vehicle. Several letters, including yours, we[re] stained during this altercation. We are deeply sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused you."</em></blockquote><p>Uhhhh...what??</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
