why should'nt you send cash through the mail?

Answer 1

Because a fat envelope is known to carry either 1.) love letters or 2.) money.

And some people have no qualms about tearing open that letter and taking every bill in there, and disposing of all the other contents in the letter... and blame it on 'getting lost in the mail'.

A check is far more discreet, is thin, not easily recognizable within an envelope, and ensures only the receiver can cash it.

Answer 2

It just isn't safe. I know for a fact that birthday cards are easy targets. My daughter received her card in the mail taped closed and no money. When I reported it. The answer was it was torn in the sorter............funny how the sorter just happened to remove the cash.

Answer 3

Because people aren't trustworthy. Do yourself a favor: go to the post office and get a money order.

Answer 4

It would usually be pretty easy for people to see what was in the envelope, and anyone dishonest who sees it en route could steal it.

Answer 5

High possibility of the cash getting "lost" -- i.e. - stolen

Answer 6

because like the mail man might open it which would invade some's privacy and he might steal and go shopping.

Answer 7

High risk of embezzlement

Answer 8

easy answer- thieves at the post office

Answer 9

You'll end up broke like my poor granny.

Answer 10

because if it goes a stray someone has your money and there is no way of proving you sent it.
