Londoners’ honesty and charitable spirit will be tested tomorrow when they find
that money does grow on trees. Thousands of envelopes containing five pound notes
will be attached to trees in the capital. The envelope reads “Money Doesn’t Grow
on Trees.” Finders will be encouraged to return the cash in the postage-paid envelope
to Comic Relief. For each fiver returned Virgin Cola will donate a further five 
pounds.
