In an email to your local paper, Andy said: “I want to let you know about our local paper delivery boy, Jack.

“We live in Border Way. This week, the Kirkintilloch Herald was posted through our door, wrapped in plastic... with 2 cream eggs inside!

“Attached was a note saying ‘don’t need to pay, if you need anything just call my number.’

“We both feel we have to tell people how kind Jack has been.

“He’s a quiet young lad and this has to be a commendation for Jack, a young school lad.

“His parents must be proud of him, having an attitude like this.

“WELL DONE JACK”.

Do you know Jack? We’d like to highlight his random act of kindness in the paper.
