An anonymous donor in Japan has left 10 million yen (US$131,000) to charity by dumping it in a public toilet, BBC reported.

The money was found with a letter saying it should be donated to victims of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March.

The neatly wrapped bills were found in a plastic shopping bag in a toilet for disabled people in the city hall of Sakado in the Tokyo suburbs.

The note reads: "I am all alone and have no use for the money."

City officials said the anonymous donor had slipped in and out unnoticed.

1千万海啸捐款厕中发现

        据英国广播公司报道,日本有一个人匿名捐款1千万日元做慈善,却把这些钱放在了一个公共厕所里。

       钱旁边还有一封信,信中说这些钱要捐给今年3月在日本地震和海啸中受害的同胞。

       这些钞票叠得整整齐齐,放在一个塑料购物袋里,是在东京郊区坂户市市政厅的残疾人厕所里找到的。

       信中还说:“我现在只剩下一个人了,要这些钱也没用了。”

       市政厅的官员说,这名捐款人悄悄进来,悄悄离开,没人发现。
