You open your businesses front door and find a note inside - with a bundle of $50.
This is the beautiful act of generosity which presented itself to Melbourne cafe owner, Pierre Patole.
The note, slipped under the door at his cafe, The Timbuktu cafe in Brighton East, read:
"Because we have an income of less than $80,000/year we qualify for the Commonwealth Seniors healthcare card and as such just received $750 each from the Govt.
"We pay no tax as our income is from a superannuation pension. The government says the $750 is for us to spend.
I need nothing that I can think to spend it on and have thought that I would like to donate to your business.
"Pierre you are certainly part of the economy and we very much admire your efforts to create a wonderful new family focused business. Plus your ever smiling welcome despite these hard times - it helps us all.
"All the very best. We hope this helps in a small way."
Now, that's not a bad way to start any day. Nice one, Victoria.
