This reminds me of stuff that happened at my current workplace.
When removing an old dead printer around five years ago, we also had to move the old cabinet of staff mailboxes out of the way to get the printer out of the printer room. We found an inter-office mail envelope with official documents from March 1997, which was stuck between the (painted) wall and the cabinet.
As it turns out, the person it was sent to had just (five years ago) come back from his retirement briefly and worked as a consultant for a couple of months (for near-exorbitant fees, but he was hard to replace). Long story short, the document in question was pretty important in the 90’s, and apparently led to a temporary political fallout because it was never properly approved, signed and returned.
The sender had since passed. We left a bouquet wrapped in the document (after scanning it) as a remembrance of and credit to her work and importance for our local municipality.
