It's 79 cartons, with 700 messages in each. That's what Dan Caen had been waiting for when he arrived at the post office in Townsburg, Ohio, USA. This is despite the fact that Caen came to receive a letter from a local authority regarding a scholarship for his daughter. The result is that 55,000 identical letters came from the same authority, which is the School Loan Corporation for college students. "I was shocked," Caen says, "and I told them: Are you making fun of me, and who made this terrible mistake?" In contrast, the loan institution gave an official apology to the American citizen, and attributed the error to a technical defect in the computer, which oversees the regulation of outgoing mail. Caen found no solution but to store the vast amount of identical messages in the car garage, without interest.
The funny thing about this story is that the letter of approval of the loan did not specify the installments that need to be collected monthly, which raised the ire of Caen, and he said that the second mistake made matters worse, and that he did not want things to get worse. One of them commented on the communication sites, saying: «Didn't anyone notice that the message was reprinted a thousand times? It is an unreasonable thing, ”another said,“ It seems that the employees in the mail do not have time to monitor the messages, and the mechanism used calls for questioning. ”
