This means that, if we sell any more of the goods you kindly donated, then I will have to write to you again.
Sorry if this seems a waste of paper, time and resources. However it is a HM Revenue and Customs rule and is the only
way to reclaim an extra 25% on your donations.
We are pleased to say that your goods have so far raised £24.75. If you wish to donate this money to Marie Curie
Cancer Care, you need do nothing further.
If you wish to reclaim the proceeds from the sale, (less our commission fee of 5.00% of the sale value) please contact
us in writing at the address below within 21 days of the date of this letter stating your donor ID number.
Marie Curie Cancer Care,

If we do not hear from you, we will assume you wish to donate the money to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Yeah, I mean that's less commission than ebay, hmm.Bollockoff wrote:How good is that price though? Considering what you donated, is that pretty good?

They ask you to leave it out full or otherwise, but I'm fairly sure they just drive-by and stop for only those that are filled. We get literally 2-4 on an average week from both genuine charities and those that claim to be so but really aren't.
