A Berlin postal worker who was caught with several thousand undelivered letters in his basement has admitted he was overwhelmed by the job but insisted he planned to deliver them soon.
Police recently found 90 boxes of mail stacked in his basement. The postal worker, 36, identified as Thomas H., told the Bild newspaper on Friday he was only temporarily storing the mail at his house and friends would help with delivery.
"There were just too much, and I couldn't deliver it all by myself," he told the newspaper. Police said some of the letters found had been postmarked as early as April. The postal worker faces disciplinary action.
