A British woman posted on a forum recently that she had gone to a wedding and received an email in response to her gift. Read the below
I recently attended an ex-colleague’s wedding where, in response to a request for cash gifts, I sent what I thought was a pretty decent cheque (£100 if it matters, though I can’t help feeling it shouldn’t)
Last night I received an email which opened with a few comments about how glad they were to see everybody and how generous they’d all been, then said “we were surprised that your contribution didn’t seem to match the warmth of your good wishes on our big day. In view of your own position, if you wanted to send any adjustment it would be thankfully received”
For someone who’s not easily shocked I confess I’m utterly gobsmacked by this. So as not to drip feed I’ll mention that “your own position” probably refers to a recent inheritance I’ve had, which maybe they expected something from (and this is an ex-colleague, remember, not a close friend or relative)
Please, anyone, what do I do now? I’ve never come across anything like this before and still can’t quite believe they’ve done it – but since they have, should I reply, ring them, ignore it or what??
Stop payment and if that did not work report them as scammers.
huh? lol did we read the same piece?
lol u too wicked…nuh ruin di people dem life jus fi spite dem. I do agree with the stop payment though.
Not that this matters either, but how she not close to them but them aware of her recent inheritance?

Really Doah @12:35 p.m. News travel fast and far. There are so many ways that someone can know that you have come into money. It could be mere hot gossip, it could be in the paper or somebody from the lawyers office pinch somebody who pinch somebody. Since they are familiar with each other, in the case of death or a relative it could have been in the obituaries.
