A LETTER with special instructions has made its way to its intended recipient.

The Rev Maggie Rich, of Victoria Road, Knighton, received a letter from her friend Jo, in Oldham, despite Jo losing her address book and not remembering the address.

The instructions, written on the envelope, read: “Please please can you find her?
“I know postmen are kind and very clever.

“It is near to where they have a book fair every year, also I think it is in beautiful Wales (just).

“Please Mr Postman can you help me I am in bed in a nursing home and have lost my address book.

“She is a very very special lady, she has a dog called Tinker; a black and white sheepdog."

On the back of the envelope, it read: “If you manage to find her for me I promise a bottle of something at Christmas.”

The letter, posted on Friday, August 16, found its way to Maggie on Monday, August 19, delivered by postman Liam Watts.

The Rev Maggie Rich said: “I’ve not seen her since I moved down here, eight years ago.

“We keep in contact regularly, but although it was not unusual to get a letter, I thought, 'What's happened here?'

“It was a long letter, about 12 pages, but when you're in a nursing home, it’s something to do.

“I’ve written back, sending her my full address and sent her some photographs we took a long time ago.”

When a vague special came in I told a colleague where to deliver it. He then asked the DOM about it and the Dom said "Kill it off"!
Do I go the extra mile? Not any more!
