Map leads postman to right door
A letter sent by a woman to an old friend addressed with only a first name, the town name and a map, arrived at the right house the next day.
Maureen McCartney, 72, from Hitchin, in Herts, needed to contact friend Monica, but did not know her married surname.
She had visited her home in Louth, Lincs, but did not know the address.
Ms McCartney, who wrote "Monica", "Louth", and drew a map of roads in the town and marked X where the house was, said she was amazed at the service.
'Very impressed'
She said: "I needed to contact Monica to tell her my sister was ill.
"I drew the main road out of Louth with two roads coming off it and marked where her bungalow was with an X.
"I was amazed when Monica rang me the next day to say the letter had arrived.
"I was very impressed as I had only posted it at 1500 BST the previous day. They could easily have put it in the bin."
Ms McCartney added: "Monica has not been able to track down the postman who delivered it to thank him. I have written to the post office to say thank you."
