DEAR ABBY: I receive lots of mail from organizations requesting donations for various causes. I'm sure that these requests are for good causes, but there's a limit to one's ability to make donations.
I am especially irritated with organizations that send me address labels with my name on them. I'm sure it must be an enormous expense to print these labels for all the people on their mailing lists. Why don't they use this money for their cause? I have enough labels to last me if I wrote 10 letters a day for the rest of my life! I even receive labels with my husband's name -- and he's been dead for two years.
I know everybody reads "Dear Abby," and I hope someone in these organizations sees this and acts to put an end to this foolish expenditure. -- ENOUGH ALREADY IN FALL RIVER
DEAR ENOUGH: This method of raising money has been used for as long as I can remember. However, people are under no obligation to pay for ANYTHING they did not order -- and that includes stickers with your name and address printed on them. And by the way, you are under no obligation to return them, either.
