SIR - I would like to take this opportunity to thank the kind person who found my purse in the Asda supermarket in Rooley Lane on Saturday (August 5).

The staff did not give me a name or address to write personally which is a shame when someone has shown such public spirit.

It is ironic that about this time last year I found a purse with about £35 in but no ID so I handed it in and the owner came to claim it immediately.

I hope this kind person has the same good fortune I had as I won £360 only a couple of days after handing in the purse.

I like to think it was repayment for my honesty.

Angela Kitson, Moor Lane, Birkenshaw
