Freddos are like chaos gods - when they pop into existence they've always existed, even if they haven't

An open box with a letter congratulating someone on their new role, and nothing else

We've just recieved this in the post at the shop. The letter came in the otherwise empty box, in a sealed plastic bag. I'm mildly concerned that I've accidentally released a world-ending virus when I opened it
