THE EDITOR, Sir:ON Wednesday, January 2nd, I went to the Tax Office on King Street to renew the registration for my car. To complete my transaction I had to go to the cashier and then to another department. The cashier I dealt with was Sean Beckford. Unknown to me at the time, I had overpaid for my transaction.
Later that night while at home, I received a telephone call from Mr. Beckford. (he had checked my file to get my home telephone number) He indicated that in his end of day reconciliation, he realised that he had $3,000 extra and wanted to know whether I had overpaid. I checked and realised that I had in fact overpaid.
Today, I went down to the Tax Office and collected from Mr. Beckford the $3,000. I would like to thank Mr. Beckford for acting with the utmost honesty and integrity and for exhibiting excellent customer service. He has demonstrated all that is good about our society and people.
In spite of the challenges that we face in our country, there are many good, sincere people who are committed to public service. Thank you.
I am, etc.,
