All they ask for is a donation. I think £5 per letter is the recommended amount as that's what it shows when you go onto the website however I suppose you donate as much as you can afford.
They are really nice quality (or were last year) and you can choose the style you prefer for the background of the letter

Peter Wanless, Chief Executive of the NSPCC with an annual salary of £167,000, thanks you for your contribution.
Tbh that is very low for executive pay, even of any charity

Fascinating
So if we say the 45 who are getting over £60k are getting 65k, then it works out the top 55 people in the company are giving themselves:
£4,104,080
of your charitable donations each year.
Do they report how much they get it total in donations? Would be interesting to see how much of the money they get in donations goes to the execs.
55 - that's a helluva lot of well paid jobs in one company...

And your point? Yes it is a lot, but if the post paid £20k a year do you really think you'd get a suitable Chief Executive apply? Someone with the experience, dedication and knowledge to run a huge organisation?
And where did you originally find about about this? Why did it draw your attention? Let me guess, a tabloid newspaper? Yet another non story presented in such a way that you feel outraged so they sell papers.
If you have a sensible point to make about this then I'd love to hear it, rather than just regurgitating emotive headline from a red top rag.

Are the letters handwritten, how does this differ from the free royal mail service?

I read the original post, I just wasn't sure if it was Santa who wrote them himself, because he is very busy, or if the elves helped him out?
