Solution and Explanation
Lencho's profound faith in God deeply moved the postmaster, who therefore resolved to send him money. Furthermore, the postmaster wished to avoid disheartening Lencho or undermining his belief in God. Consequently, he signed the letter 'God', a clever maneuver to suggest that God himself had penned the correspondence.
