getrichslowly.org — "I was one of thousands of people around the country who received a 'junk mail' letter touting a get-rich quick method." ... "That letter also came with a cheque for the same amount, $95,093.35. Everything about the check looked real except for the words 'non-negotiable for cash' type in the top right hand corner."

the biggest expense to that would of deffinatly been the manpower/labor costs to correct the error.. not the cost of mailing.. unless this was totally computer related
