Re: US mail tampering

More | Report Post

It's whats on the out side of the
envelope that matters, not the
content. If it's addressed to
someone other than you, and goes
to another address, not yours.
Then theres no way you can prove
it's yours. It's your business to
get a change of address form
filled out and have that mail
redirected to you, at your
address, which makes it your maiil.
