Dear Secret Santa Recipient 501: My profound apologies.....

[Santashelper501]

Your parcel may not reach you by Christmas eve.... but it might.

I sent it Air Mail so it should be faster than by land and I'm praying it gets there. I feel awful.

I'm so sorry I delayed postage - RL money issues played a part in that, but it's no excuse.

I don't know who you are but when you get parcel 501, I'm very very sorry if it's late.

You aren't the only one. I've sent mine too (last week) and its stuck at a depot in the city its going to. Despite that they can't guarantee it'll get to the recipient before Xmas. I'm very disappointed too.

I am the only one with the match numbers, so I'm afraid your recipient won't have a clue this message is for them.

Please don't worry, most people had more than one match so they will still be getting something. I am sure any late arrivals will still be wonderful surprises.

If anyone else has postal worries please free to drop me an email.

A little closer to Christmas, if stuff still looks like not arriving, I will send messages to the recipients so they at least are aware.
