Actual Letters

The Welfare Department received these letters from American citizens:

1. I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead.

2. Unless I get my husband’s money pretty soon, I will be forced to lead an immortal life.

3. I want money as quick as I can get it, so I have been in bed with the doctor for two weeks and he doesn’t do me any good. If things don’t improve I will have to send for another doctor.

4. I am very much annoyed to find that you have branded my son illiterate. This is dirty lie as I was married a week before he was born.
