I WOULD like, through the columns of the Star’s letters page, to offer my sincere thanks to the young man who handed in money which I had absent-mindedly left in the cash machine outside Barclays bank in Church Street on Monday, March 31.

When I got home and discovered that I hadn’t picked up the cash I dashed back to the bank much more in hope than expectation and was amazed to be told that a young lad had spotted my money in the machine and handed it in over the counter Unfortunately he didn’t leave his name and address so I was unable to thank him personally.

I hope he reads this letter and learns how grateful I am for his honesty.

It was very much appreciated.

Relieved and grateful
