My solution to all the charity letters

I do make charitable donations to charities of my choice but, like many other senior citizens, I am constantly receiving charity donation letters through my letterbox, and am sick and tired of receiving them.

I would advise readers in a similar situation to me as follows. I cross my name and address from the front of the unopened envelope with a felt-tip pen and redirect them to the addresses on the back of the envelope with a message written on saying “Please do not send me any more correspondence and delete my name and address from your mailing list”.

Hopefully, this will prevent further begging letters being received when a return of post charge is made to their organisations.
