altough it may be a great option for younger members whats to stop and employee on the other side pocketing some of the money for themselves and saying not enough cash was sent?

I would advise you NOT to send money through the mail. There are too many potential risks. With checks or money orders, there are ways to put a stop on them in the event they don't reach the intended destination. If cash is gone - it's gone.

Forget employees, the money probably won't even make it there. Someone I know posted £50 to someone he knew and the envelope arrived fully sealed as it had been posted but without the money.

Magic!?

Did your mate sign the note first? And did it procede to then turn up somewhere completely unexpected, like in a rabbits mouth or something? Nice routine idea! Now for the postman's next trick... Sawing the parcel in half... :lol:
