A set of grandparents in rural Nova Scotia are likely looking for where to frame a handwritten letter from their granddaughter, who wrote them a postcard from summer camp.
But the only reason they got the opportunity in the first place was because of the “decency” of a Canada Post worker, who went above and beyond her job requirements to ensure the letter got where it needed to go.
Daya Modayur, a 12-year-old from Nova Scotia attending summer camp at MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning in Dartmouth, thought she would return the favor and reply to some letters she received from her grandparents while they were on a road trip.
But the rural address was “so complicated” and in her focus to get it right, the all-important postage stamp slipped her mind before she slipped it into the mailbin.
Realizing her mistake, Modayur asked her camp counselor what to do, and the woman replied she would make a note and tape it onto the mailbin asking the mail carrier for help.
“Dear postal worker, at our summer camp we made postcards and one person sent one to their grandma without a stamp,” read the letter taped above the mailbox’s lever. “If you find it, can you please return it to the MacPhee Centre or use the stamp on the back of this page? We would really appreciate it.”
A day later, a reply appeared at the bottom of the note.

“Found it and stamped it! Have a great day.”
Christine Fong, the carrier for Canada Post who found the letter, told Global News that her act of kindness and consideration was just “human decency.”

“When I read that a child had sent a postcard from a day camp to their grandmother with no postage, obviously, the first thing I thought when I opened it was to find this missing piece of letter mail,” she explained.
“Just to see that there was a simple request, it’s human decency just to follow through and do what you got to do.”
