Support:
It is Wednesday morning and Maria is all ready to go downtown. She has to go to the post office to
send off a few things, pay two bills and send some money.
She bought a beautiful gift for her mother’s birthday and decided to send it to her in the post. The
post office wasn’t very crowded and she was served immediately.
As her parcel had an expensive vase inside, the postmaster advised her to send it to be signed for.
While she was there, she sent a letter to her lawyer first class and another to her GP second class.
When the post master finished with her post, her council tax and water bill.
On her way to the post office, she noticed that she was out of credit and needed a twenty-five-pound
mobile top-up. It was also time for her to top up her gas and electric meter.
The last thing on her list was to transfer money to her sister living in Majorca .As the post office has
the Money Gram service; she was able to send money after providing the correct ID.
After she finished what she needed to do, the queue was very long with lots of unhappy customers
waiting patiently for their turn to be served.
