Years ago I sent a Guaranteed Delivery Letter to our local Council. They
claimed not to have received it. As it was very important, I followed it up.
The area Postmaster, who was tired of being accused of not delivering things
his staff had delivered, was very co-operative.
With his help, I proved beyond any reasonable doubt that the letter was
delivered, and delivered on time.
The Council spokesperson said that I had proved that an envelope had been
delivered to them, but I had not proved that there was anything in the
envelope.
