A family was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother arrived from the US .
It was sent by one of her daughters. The dead body was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin that the face touched the glass lid!
When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top, which read as follows:
"Dear brothers & sisters, I am sending our mother's body to you for burial, since it has always been her wish to be buried in the compound of our ancestral home.
Sorry I could NOT come along as I have been denied leave at work since weare short staffed this month.
You will find inside the coffin, under mama's body:
12 x cans, canned fish,
10 x packets of Royco soup &
8 x tins of hot chocolate.
Please divide these among yourselves.
On mama's feet, you will find: a new pair of Reebok shoes size 9 for Sunday's eldest son.
Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes for Emily's & Patience's daughters. I hope the sizes are correct.
Mama is wearing 6 American T-shirts. The large size is for Josiah & the others are for my nephews.
The 2 new £evi's jeans that mama is wearing are for the boys.
The Swiss watch that Rhema wanted for her 21st birthday is on mama's left wrist.
Aunt Shamma, mama is wearing the necklace, earrings & the ring that you asked for; please take them.
The 6 white cotton socks that mama is wearing must be divided among my teenage nephews.
Please distribute all these accordingly and if anything more is required, let me know since our pappa is also NOT doing well nowadays."
