A woman was stunned after receiving an anonymous letter filled with cash and a note explaining the reason why. A person had stolen her wallet years ago and now was reaching out as way of apology. Redditor stehigs321 decided to share a photo of the letter and its unusual contents online. As it turns out, the thief had robbed her to pay for drugs…
The letter reads:
Dear [name redacted]
About 5 1/2 years or so ago I did something very terrible to you, I stole your wallet out of your purse. I was a drug addict wanting to take money from whoever I could to get my next high. I didn’t even know you, I pick pocketed you and took it right out of your purse. I took the Best Buy card you had in it and whatever cash that was in it and threw the wallet in a trash can next to a store.
Not too long after that I landed in a treatment facility and got sober. I’ve been sober for 4 years now and just recently found your Best Buy card in a bag of old stuff, I looked up your name and found where you worked. So here I am.
I can’t imagine the frustration and despair I put you through not to mention all the time and effort looking for it and getting all new stuff. It is unforgivable what I have done but I would like to pay you a small amount of money for it.
I will also never hurt someone in that way ever again and will continue to live an honest life.
I wish you nothing but happiness, prosperity, and good health.
What an unexpected gesture! What do you think of it? It’s good to see someone trying to make amends for the harm they caused in their past. It just goes to show, it’s never too late to make a positive change in your life. Share if you agree.
