Dear

Thank you very much for handing in my purse to the police station.

I was very worried when I lost it last week. It had quite a lot of money in it, about 200 in cash and gift cards.

I was really upset. I have to admite that I'm very surprised, and so unbelievably grateful that my purse was returned intact.

I know this sounds cheesy, but it touched me on a deeper level because this reaffirmed my faith in people as a whole.

I was feeling especially upset because two other unfortunate circumstances have happened to me.

I really want to thank you for your faithfulness that you turned in the purse.
