Louis Kavaratzis was in shock when he got a phone call from Canada Post Monday telling him that a piece of registered mail — which contained a certified cheque for $301,560 — turned up weeks after it had gone missing.
With his cheque in hand after more than 6 weeks, Louis Kavaratzis plans to deposit it as soon as possibleLouis Kavaratzis retrieved on Monday a missing certified cheque sent by registered mail that contained more than $300,000 inheritance from his late father."I felt a big sense of relief, yet I'm still frustrated, very much. Last night I didn't sleep one bit," Kavaratzis said Tuesday. "[But] I won't rest until the cash is actually in the bank.
"When they removed the drawer, they found my registered mail … [that] supposedly had fallen on the back of the drawer," Louis said."I was in shock, I didn't know what to say. I looked at it, I opened it in front of them to make sure it was the cheque."In an email to CBC News Tuesday, Canada Post confirmed the cheque was delivered to Louis late Monday afternoon but did not provide any further details on why it had gone missing.
The Crown corporation previously apologized to the brothers in a statement for the "unfortunate and frustrating delivery experience."In Ayer's Cliff, mail is delivered to residents' mailboxes located inside the Canada Post office. Louis got a notice in his mailbox on Aug. 3 that he had registered mail to retrieve, but had said when he went to the counter to pick it up, it was missing.
His brother, George, says while he is happy to learn that the cheque had been located, he wondered why it wasn't spotted in the initial searches of the facilities.
