So I am going through my mail (real mail, not email) and I got one of those things from a charity that has a nickel in it and on the outside it says “The enclosed nickel can help provide life-saving assistance”. So I guess I have to mail that nickel back to them to help out. The instructions aren’t really clear.
Seems like a poorly thought out fund raiser. They are basically saying, “All we really need from you is this nickel we just sent you.” I’m thinking they can stop mailing out the nickels which would save them the postage price, plus they would still have their nickel, because let’s face, I’m pretty sure not all of the nickels they mail out get returned to them. They should just keep them. So instead of running the risk of losing a total of 46 cents on each transaction, they would be making 5 cents on each transaction, and in time, I think they would be somewhat profitable.
Man, I could turn that whole organization around in a matter of years. And I didn’t even go to business school.
