If I ever lose my wallet I sure hope 10-year-old Nasim Lawrance finds it.

Nasim recently found a woman's wallet in Oakland and not only did he return it with all the money, he also wrote an adorable letter. Here's what he said:

Dear Ms. Sloan,

My name is Nasim Lawrance and I am 10 years old.

I found your wallet on the ground at the Super Motocross event in Oakland.

I know how it feels to lose something and I wanted to make sure you got your wallet back.

Hopefully, I have made you smile and you are happy to have your money and ID back.

I am glad I found it instead of some bad person who would steal from you.

You look like a very nice person who does nice things for people so I wanted to do something nice for you.

Plus it's the honest thing to do.

Sincerely,

Nasim

Here's Ms. Sloan got in the mail:

Nasim sounds like a pretty special kid. I sure hope he sees this post. Because I'd like to tell him personally how proud I am of what he did.
