Not sure if you remember me posting about the letter from my foster sister.  Earlier this year she sent a letter saying that the children and I were evil and she wasn't going to have anything to do with me again.

Had a letter this morning asking for me to forward a bank statement (they come to this address) as she needs the sort code and account number to close it.

So I have her address.  She said she enclosed a stamp, but didn't.

I've typed out a letter to her in reply to the one she sent.  Its not angry or nasty, but basically saying how dare she send me such a letter, although it doesn't suprise me.

I've pointed out that she's not a victim in any of this, but all her choice.

I've also told her never to use my address and phone number as a contact point again.  And told her never to write or phone again.

 

So... Do I rip it?  Or send it.

I want to send it - and would be surprised if she read it anyway...

Votes down below please

Thank you

Hi sparkling

Is the bank account the only reason she would have had to use your address? If so then I am thinking you could do a simple letter just saying here is the bank statement, I will not be responding to anything else sent to this address, I now wish to sever all contact with you. End of. Do not engage in commenrts on her hurtful and unjustified behaviour, you can rise above that. If you still have unresolved feelings within you, write a further letter being as rude and frank as you like, and then either burn it or tear it up. Put the right one in the envelope though! Cool

Hahahaha!  Thank you.

I put the bank statement in an envelope and posted it with out comment.

It was "thinking about it" that made me hammer out a letter.

At the moment it will be scrumpled and chucked.  She's offended every one else in the family and they won't have anything to do with her.  I just feel that's so sad, and can't quite do the 'never contact me again' bit.

I would have sent her the statement, but added that no longer was your address open for them, and she needs to make other arrangements, That way, you wouldn't have been teling her that you didn't want to hear from her, but she would have got the message loud and clear how you felt about her nasty letter to you. The door would still have been left open to her.

I can still send a letter along those lines.

I would then 'officially' withdrawn permission for using here...

It's down to a few lines.

 

I say I hope the statment arrived and it would have been sent sooner had she texted her address when I asked for it.

In view of the letter received earlier this year, do not use my address or telephone number as a contact point again.  You will need to make other arrangements.

I will not respond to any further communications you send to this address.

 

Just need to decide if its worth the cost of a stamp Smile

I just think that sometimes silence is so more effective...

It won't be sent.
