<div>I think telling the BN to wait longer isn't
unreasonable. It's not your fault and you did take the
extra step of sending the letter certified. From the facts
you described, I would just sympathize with the BN's bad
luck and tell them that when USPS acknowledges that it's
lost you'll send another check using a different carrier.
They can take it up with USPS if they want someone to
blame. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning colleagues:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like your input
regarding an estate distribution from my IOLTA.
This was a difficult probate with many issues. I
ended up with the estate proceeds in my IOLTA
instead of an estate account, hence my making the
final distributions and not the PR. I sent out the
IOLTA checks certified mail RRR, 10 total. These
went out all at the same time on August 25<sup>th</sup>
and I personally brought them to the post office
and watched the clerk process each one. All but
one has gotten to the beneficiaries. The
beneficiary of the one that hasn’t arrived is
furious and demanding. The beneficiary has
confirmed that the address I mailed it to is
correct. The post office tracking # says the
package is still on its way, but it’s going to be
arriving late. It was last scanned 9/4. I do not
have confidence that if this person received two
checks that they wouldn’t try and negotiate both
of them despite being advised of a stop-payment.
And, the bank itself says that stop-payments are
not fool proof. The remaining money in the account
is not mine, but other clients, so I am hesitant
to stop-payment right now and send another check
or wire the money this soon. It hasn’t yet been
two weeks. I am inclined to tell the beneficiary
that they are going to have to be patient as it is
still showing as being in the system headed for
delivery. I anticipate this response will not be
well received. Am I being unreasonable?
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have any of you had this
happen? Any words of wisdom? </p>
