My aunty lives abroad
For some reason on Christmas /easter she puts £100 or £200 in my account
I tell her every time not too but she says my mum isn't here anymore so she likes to treat me (I'm mid 30s)
We only speak now via email as she has no landline
Anyway she emailed saying
I've just put some money in your account (email last night ) hope you got it okay as my stupid computer wasn't working properly
Anyway nothing in my bank
I feel rude saying -no haven't received anything
It's like me begging for money isn't it?
But at the same time I don't like the idea of her possibly transferring money to a wrong account and her loosing out.
What do I do ?
Mention it or not ?

Yes. Obviously make the message a chatty one but add something like ‘thanks so much for the message about the Easter gift. You are always so kind and it’s much appreciated. Nothing showing in account yet so if you've sent something it might have gone wrong. No need to send anything if course! Just thought you should know’
