I'm not so sure. When the postman delivers a whole bag of mail to a large
user, don't you think he just crosses off all the "Recorded" items that
are believed to be enclosed, without individually correlating them. At
that point all the post is the same to the recipient, and indeed most
post-rooms will dispose of all the envelopes and lose the very fact it
was sent "signed for".

I doubt it, as the signature must be recorded.

The signature is recorded by the postman, in a little book. The
recipient records nothing.

Large post rooms then dump all the letters into a letter-opening machine
and discard the envelopes. Smaller post rooms do the same by hand.

It's a bit worrying but I genuinely hope that the letter will not be lost en route and that the MPS can send me the confirmation letter as evidence soon. Anyone knows typically how long does it take for the MPS to issue such a letter? or would it be feasible for me to drive down to London to request and then collect the letter on the same day?
