Your postie probably won't get into any trouble but the office will receive a bad mark for failing a test. It's all part of the RM & Postcomm test (scam) to fine RM for failing it's obligations and then hoping to sell off RM group ... a bit like selling off the railways - downhill from here if they do! Take care :) Hi Squara,

I also wondered if I should call the number but decided it might be a bit daft and having attempted to talk to RM on the phone previously decided it was not worth it. Thank you to Lee who has now solved the mystery :D It would would appear my local postie has failed the test. Thanks :) This exact same thing happened to me today!

The letter shouldn't of reached you, but instead, it should of been killed off and sent back to the sender (in this instance RM). This is to test the DNR service is being used correctly. As you received the letter, the postman failed. Hope this clarifies things :) Hi, I’m a RMG employee.

I've just received six test letters & two test parcels from: France, Belgium, Spain & Ireland. Some said Test Letter, others just Blank sheets of paper. All of these were 'Signature Required' but some were put through door unsigned. Have told postman not to bring any more. Spooky! You’re lucky!

I'm unable to ignore a letter that you told me to ignore." is ever going to be that productive. Besides, have you ever tried ringing Royal Mail? Generally, after an hour pressing buttons on their menu, you eventually get some mardy sounding person who would clearly rather be on strike than actually do some work. I try to avoid dealing with the Post Office, Parcel Farce and Royal Mail wherever I can! I just thought getting this letter was most odd! I couldn't imagine BT ringing me up just for a random chat.
