Default Wanting to test opened envelope mail

Thanks everyone for volunteering, I think I have enough now to give it a good test.

A lot of threads about opened / ripped envelopes received in the mail. A lot of people assume the blame lies with the post office and others think it was sent that way.

I want to test how easily a person can send an empty envelope (both ripped and neatly cut). I plan on mailing via drop boxes, carrier pickup and handing it straight to a clerk at the window.

Any volunteers for being on the receiving end of an empty envelope? I need about ten people from different areas of the country.

I'll take one. Actually I'll take all three. I can't promise not to leave a negative though.
