a man found one million yen

A 61-year-old man who is out of a job in the ancient capital of Nara in western Japan found one million yen (10,000 dollars) money in his mailbox with a slip of paper with the note, "Please make use of this in your everyday life," printed with a black ballpoint pen. But he did not follow the advice, the jobless man turned over the money to police. The sender has until June 27 to declare the money or the unemployed man will get it. Japan has seen a thread of cases in which huge sums of cash have been left anonymously in the mailboxes or public restrooms. The largest money, in the record, was in the city of Kyoto last year. Beyond belief a 67-year-old woman who discovered an envelope containing 10 million yen of loaded bills in her mailbox.
