My best friend does not get on with her Mother in law at all and never has.
The Mother in law in question has never sent my Friend a Birthday card and does not even talk to her.
My Friend daughter talks to her Nan, and her Nan asked Her Grandaughter (My Friends Daughter) to post a Birthday card for her. So she took the card ready to post.
But she gave it to her Mother to post ( my friend) and she has just rang me and asked my advice. She has opened the card it had £10 in it. This card was to her Ex Daughter in law, She told me she opened and now my mate is stuck what to do as the envelope is all ripped and she can't read the address as its in messy writting.
I have told her to make up a story like she dropped it, and envelope got wet, and ask her Mother in law to write another, and take the card and money down to her.
She is not so sure.
So we decided to ask you all?
She said keep money and say nothing (im not so sure as i would worry and for £10 its not worth it

Your friend needs to own uo to opening the card and taking the money. No matter how little it is it is theft.
This is a very complicated story. Are you sure the friend isn't you; and do you need help such as conselling? If so its available. Tell your 'friend' to follow the link

Can she say the dog ate it?
I don't know what else to suggest other than to go and speak to the mother-in-law and have it out with her.
What has the husband got to say about it all? He can't be happy that his mother is still in contact with his ex. Can he do anything about it?

Wow, wrong thing to do, open someone elses mail. But if it were me I would get rid of the evidence and if asked, say that you dropped in a post box and stick to the lie.

dont keep it as at some point she is going to find out that the card was not posted and recieved. Find the address by any means and send it on. Dont keep it.

Why bother sending it or telling the mother in law about it at all. Pretend you did what you were asked to do and be done with it.

Just say you spilled something on it and it smeared the address maybe she will just give it to you again.
