Mail from US broached

The Guyana Post Office Corporation says that it has recently been receiving “broached items” from the United States of America.

According to a press release from the Corporation, “this has been the case on a number of occasions although the mailed items are received in sealed mail bags.”
The release stated that “information relating to this recent development has been communicated to the United States Postal Administration for them to conduct investigations into these occurrences.”

Members of the public are urged to take note of this development and are encouraged “to advise their relatives and friends to be cognizant of this phenomenon when posting mail to Guyana.”
The Guyana Post Office Corporation, meanwhile, remains committed “to preserving the integrity of the mail and are therefore doing everything possible to carry out this mandate”, the release said.
