A mystery man handed out envelopes containing ?50 notes to shoppers as a Christmas gift after he came into some money.
Christmas came a day early for shoppers at a Tesco superstore in Tiverton, Devon, who were handed the blank envelopes while browsing the shelves on Christmas Eve.
It has been claimed the man moved swiftly around the store, on Blundell's Road, putting the letters in shoppers' baskets, although it is unclear how many people have benefited from his kindness.
Inside the envelope, along with the cash, was a printed message from the generous benefactor that read: "Happy Christmas. I have recently been fortunate enough to have come into quite a lot of money - more than I need for myself and my family. So I thought that I would share some of it with other people - the ?50 enclosed is for you.
"I hope this enables you to have a little extra cheer this Christmas. You do not have to do anything other than spend the money - and it is real, there is no trick, no hidden cameras or catch. Just have a happy Christmas."
