[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through a somewhat similar situation, and the post office was able to verify that it HAD NOT been sent through the mail.

I think that in your case, the answer doesn’t matter. You are questioning already, your nervous system is telling you everything you need to know about trusting this person. Trust yourself! [/quote]

Cutting ties with this person completely would mean losing a business relationship with a third person who is wonderful and I think likely has been lied to by this person. So while I agree with you, particularly because this document could have been sent WELL before it was needed, I would love to have proof they lied. I will have to decide if I care enough to go to the post office though. It seems to me completely crazy they would have done this. [/quote]

Do you mean you're looking for proof of wrongdoing so that you can start a direct business relationship with the third person? You'll have to go to the Post Office.[/quote]

Not exactly, I was mostly explaining why it’s not as easy as just stop dealing with this person who is frustrating for a lot of reasons. But I think the good partner would possibly cut ties at some point if they were confronted with evidence of actually lying about performing a essential task and maybe replace them with someone better (not me, to be clear, I have no interest in that role).[/quote]

If you came to me with proof someone had lied to you about mailing a letter, I would not cut ties with them, and I would think you were overwrought.

By all means, don't trust the sender. I don't think you need proof to mistrust them.

But making a huge deal to a third party about late mail, even if you can prove the lie, is weird and a bit unprofessional. If this was a serious business matter it would not have been mailed plain USPS (not even delivery confirmation!) to a residence in the first place. There were a dozen better ways to transmit it, including private carrier or USPS overnight. [/quote]
