Today, my dad sent me $200 by mail, only to mail it to the wrong person. So now some random person is getting $200 from my dad. FML

Your dad doesn't know your address? Your dad doesn't have checks? Your dad thinks sending cash through the mail is a good idea? So many questions...

This is like a raffle. I hope he sent it to me! :)

Well, SOMEBODY'S going to be very happy on your birthday

... Realizing now that they never said it was for their birthday :|

Considering it is a federal offense to open someone else's mail, hopefully it is sent back to your dad. He then could send it to your proper address. If he sent a cheque, he could put a stop payment on it (not that anyone but you should be able to cash it), and the re-send it. If he sent cash, well that's just dumb, but honestly could be a cop out if your dad is cheap. He could have said he sent it to the wrong address, say he never got it back, and can't afford to send more. So many different scenarios could be in play here. I'm kind of hoping for a follow up lol. Either way OP, fyl, that sucks.

I can't believe it took 15 comments for someone to point this out....

Today, I learned people in a developed nation still send cash in the mail.

That happens...similar addresses and the postal service screws up

Maybe he needs it more, consider it charity

If they see the wrong name written on it they may not open it.
