Where the heck is Anytown?

If you have ever been on a mission trip or had to raise funds for some worthy cause, you may fully appreciate this story. I had spent many hours finishing a support letter to raise prayer support and financial support. Unfortunately, there was some information I was not aware of while writing the letter. I was unsure how much the trip would cost, or even the exact dates of the trip. In fact, I wasn?t even sure of what address to leave so people could send financial support. I guess I just figured that any details could be filled in at a later date. Sure, it may have been wiser to leave those spots blank so I wouldn't forget I made up crucial information. Unfortunately, wisdom is best served in hindsight. A couple weeks went by until deadlines began approaching. I would have to retrieve and finalize my letter. I put the finishing touches on it, and had one hundred copies printed out. I then sent out 28 letters to friends and family, with 22 on standby. It was then that the phone calls started coming in and those who felt that bad news was better meant to be in person. What was the bad news you ask? I had forgotten to change the stuff I made up. Luckily the price I put was only around $800 over, and the dates of the trip were pretty darn close. It was the wrong address that was a devastating blow. The address that directed people where to mail the financial support was completely fiction. As we speak, the US post office will be continually reminded why return addresses are such a wonderful Idea. The many envelopes addressed to:
1234 Main St.
Anytown, US 12345
will never make there destination. What glint of wisdom can you derive from such a sad story? It is this? to proofread. I don't care who you are, just proofread the stupid thing.
