To the Editor:
I read with interest the letter from Fred Bercari (“Unacceptable Response”) in the Nov. 5 issue about letters he mailed in October that were not delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. I empathize with Mr. Bercari.
I paid and mailed six bills from Sept. 14 through Sept. 17, none of which reached their destination. Two of those bills were over $1,000 which were our insurance and our dentist bills. Our bank charged us $30 per check to stop payment.
