A big envelope full of money? Thank you! Thank you!
I once worked as a permie for a really despicable manager, he was retiring and one morning I could hear this wave of murmuring coming towards me along the open-plan office. As it neared I could discern "no", "**** off", "no", "go away". It was his leaving card, signed by his secretary only...............

There's a card doing the rounds at the moment. Everyone's signing it with the same name - someone who left six months ago.

A friend of mine used to scan the messages people had written and select a particularly nauseating one. e.g.
"It's been an honour to work with you. Best wishes for the future to you and your family. From Dave."
He would then photocopy that message and sellotape the copy onto a blank space in the card in a really slapdash way, then cross out "Dave" and write his own name.
It had a fabulous effect of overwhelming insincerity. I've never had the nerve to do the same thing myself, but one of these days...
