My sincere apologies

Dear Postal Carrier,

I am so sorry that I did not hose down our mailbox before you came yesterday. It must have been a terrible yet memorable event to put mail in our box. You were faithful, though. I bet you were wishing it was rain, snow or sleet you had to deal with instead of this. My kids told me how bad it smelled. I got distracted but I really should have remembered to take care of that issue because how often does a neighbor throw up on your mailbox?! And if I ever do have 'a next time', I promise to be more prompt. I hope that you aren't planning revenge by sending our mail to Timbuktu! ; )
