The handwritten letter read:

I worked for you at Gibbs back in 1999 or 2000 (I think). I don't know if you remember me or not.

I wasn't able to be a very good employee at that time, although I was grateful for the job.

Not only was I a flaky employee, I also stole from the drawer when I worked.

I want to make sure you know I was appreciative of the job and that I regretted stealing from you.

Please accept this check for what I estimate to be how much I stole. I hope you are both well.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told ABC News, "I returned the money because it was wrong and I regret it.

"I was young and I was dishonest. I only worked at the bar for a month or two on the weekends. I wasn't a very good bartender."

Pamela, upon receiving the letter, said she suspected there was theft at their bar back then, but was never really able to prove it.

"My husband couldn't believe this. It was just such a rare circumstance. Especially for her to do that after 15 years."
