A generous customer has spread Christmas cheer by dropping off a mysterious envelope of $2,000 at a struggling local fruit shop.
Judy Jiang, 50, has owned Fruit Bowl in Kirrawee, Sydney's south, for seven years but business has recently struggled due to increased competition in the area.
Ms Jiang said a 'very pretty and very young' lady came to her shop about 9am on Thursday.
The inquisitive customer asked Ms Jiang about business, noticing the store was quiet.
Ms Jiang told the visitor the store was facing difficulties with Aldi and Coles opening nearby.

She bought a number of products from the store including bananas, mangoes, corn chips and avocados, spending about $60.
A couple of minutes later the young woman returned and dropped a envelope on the front counter.
'I thought maybe there was a Christmas card inside,' Ms Jiang told Daily Mail Australia.
Ms Jiang opened the envelope and found it was packed with $50 notes tallying to a whopping $2,000.
She said she ran from the store to chase after the woman but she drove away before Ms Jiang could reach her.
'I remember her face, she's a beautiful lady,' she said.
Ms Jiang could barely contain her excitement when relaying the incident to Daily Mail Australia.
'This has never never happened in this street,' she said.
'I can't believe this, it's a miracle.'

Ms Jiang said the woman, who she believed was a local, wouldn't have been much older than 20-years-old.
'Nice people, the young girl has such a good heart,' she said.
'I was in shock. I cried, I couldn't move, another half-an-hour and my legs were still shaking.'
Ms Jiang's story was shared to Facebook by local store Rudi's Continental Butchery as the Fruit Bowl does not have their own Facebook.
The butcher said all local stores in the area were suffering.
'Please spare a thought to all the shops in our village as we are all going through this,' they wrote.
'The businesses that have over the years supported your schools, sporting clubs and fundraisers. Don't assume that everyone will be ok, and everyone will benefit from the eventual increase in population.
'If you want to see us and all the other business to survive it will depend on your continuing support.'
