Dear anonymous kind stranger who did not include a return address:
Thank you for mailing my wallet to South Korea from London, where I lost it a few months ago – possibly in a pub? – while visiting my in-laws with my wife and our toddlers. When I saw the envelope and your handwritten note waiting for me at The New York Times office in Seoul, I gasped.
