I appreciate your willingness to help. I am considering volunteering myself in fields where I can contribute.

Thanks in advance,

Answer
Hi,
Well, this is not a postage stamp; it is just something printed on the envelope indicating that 100,000 of these envelopes were printed in May, 2010, together with some additional information about where they were printed. No other dates, and it doesn't have anything to do with when the envelope was mailed.
