No it does NOT make it even _slightly_ legal! Refer to the US Post code regulations. In the UK it is also completely illegal. > You are not just randomly sending a dollar to someone, you are paying > one dollar for a legitimate service. No, you are not, you are merely following faulty advice in the hope that you will avoid prosecution for Mail Fraud! > Make sure you include your name and address. so that the Postal Authorities can find you easily!

The folding of the paper around the bill will ensure its arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!! (Otherwise, some unscrupulous mail delivery person may see what's inside and start helping himself to all the thousands of envelopes arriving!) As about 95% of the postmen/women in the Uk are honest, (and I suspect the figures in the USA are not dissimilar), this remark is probably libellous. But, of course, those with criminal tendencies tend to believe the worst of everybody else.> > Why did you double space all this garbage?
