John Zelnio from Illinois, USA found an anonymous letter in his post containing $40 and a note from a skateboarder:
My friend pushed me in to your truck and I scratched your truck with my skateboard.... I am sending you my grass cutting money for the insurance... I will send you more next week when I finish some more yards next week."
John said he couldn't find any damage to his truck, but the letter, warmed his heart". He is trying to find out who the note was from so he can tell the skateboarder not to worry. John says, "It's great to know there are some great hearts out there doing the right thing."
John was asked what he would say if he met the young person:
"I'm very proud of you. I'm proud of your parents for raising such a good kid, and you should keep up the good work..... and here's your money back!"
