The letter that made thousands cry

[demmiblue]

When a happy customer's letter of appreciation to the seller of a VHS machine was shared on social media, it prompted a stream of stories about acts of kindness.

"It caught my eye because most mail I get is either an advertisement or a bill, but this was handwritten," Matt Shoukry told the BBC.

"I was blown away by how much emotion and feeling this gentleman had put into a note, and how I felt so connected to him," Matt, from St Louis, Missouri, said.

Sweet and unexpected

"It was so unexpected but so sweet, so I decided to share it with the world on Reddit," Matt told the BBC. "There is so much negative in the world today, it's refreshing to have something wholesome and positive to share with everyone."

Matt's post was upvoted 160,000 times in just one day, with many people saying they were crying with emotion.
