Lady rages as tenant opens her confidential letter
The victim, known as @maggieparker on X, took to the platform to share her pain and disappointment.
She had received a letter dubbed strictly confidential, but before she could lay eyes on it, another tenant had opened it and read its contents.
The envelope clearly displayed her full name and flat number, making it obvious that it was meant for her and no one else.
After reading the letter, the offending tenant pushed it under her door with a handwritten apology, but the damage had already been done.
The lady was more annoyed by the content of the tenant's note, which seemed to downplay the seriousness of the breach.
The tenant had written:
"I am so sorry for opening the letter. DBS I thought it was mine. Didn't look at the name because what are the odds. So sorry. Flat 7."
After reading the tenant's words, the lady felt that the perpetrator's attempt to justify the action was dismissive and trivialising.

In response, she wrote a stern message to the tenant, making it clear that she would not tolerate such behaviour.
She had also contacted the letting agent, providing evidence of the incident and seeking resolution.
In her words:
"I recently moved into my new address and had a letter delivered to my flat. Another tenant opened the envelope, read its contents, and then pushed it under my door with a handwritten note.
"The envelope clearly displayed my full name and flat number. It was also marked in bold with “STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL – FOR ADDRESSEE ONLY.” My name and flat number were visible again through the transparent window. There was no ambiguity about who the letter was intended for.
"Although the person included an apology, I do not accept it. What particularly stood out to me was the phrase “what are the odds,” which felt dismissive and trivialising of what was a clear invasion of my privacy.
"I had to use marker pen to respond to the person and also slid the paper under the person's door which read, "NEVER YOU OPEN MY MAIL AGAIN. MY NAME WAS BOLDLY WRITTEN ON THE MAIL AND I DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY, SORRY CANNOT FIX THE FACT THAT YOU INVADED MY PRIVACY.
"I am still not satisfied. I have contacted the letting agent with the evidence and asked for this to be handled and also a part of me feel like being very petty by opening every mail that comes for that flat 7 till i am satisfied."
Reactions as lady shares experience with tenant
Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.
Nemesis said:
"It’s annoying and an invasion of privacy but you should accept the apology and assume it was a mistake ,what are the odds could mean she was acknowledging you just moved in and felt you won’t be getting a mail, you should also be weary of her and every other Neighbor and watch out for their patterns."
Peter E said:
"Not sure what the rules are in the UK. Here in the US it’s a federal offense to knowingly tamper with someone’s mail, it’s so serious the mail service has its own policing unit."
Palesa said:
"The person is a liar, she wan know if u have any issues so they can probably report u or show u shege."
Oladeji added:
"You are right to be angry but let me just inform you that sometimes when they deliver letters either due to the font or envelope used, you will be unable to see the name or address unless you open it! So this could be the reason why yours was opened!"
