Too true!  Twice now. TWICE within two weeks, I've spoken to former
employees of my company with whom I've maintained a close friendship,
who have informed me of recieving *someone else's* mail.

Not, the post office mis-delivered.  The envelopes were mis-stuffed
*AT OUR OFFICE*.  In one case it was an executive level offer letter,
in the other it was 1099.

I could understand if was a mechanical error with an envelope stuffing
machine, but these were hand-stuffed envelopes!
