Mail carriers are not idiots, they just discard the thing as trash since its obviously not an envelope... Business reply mail will only ever be paper letters, so what you actually want to do is just send whatever it is back to them with useless information or if its an actual envelope you can stuff it with glitter or shred the paper inside, its still technically "improper use" but they won't know that until its at the destination.

Congratulations, you just made a huge mess for some barely-above- minimum wage worker to deal with.

They are going to have to take time to clean up all that glitter or they'll get written up for keeping a sloppy workspace. But because it's glitter and got everywhere, it's gonna take a long time and they are going to miss their performance metrics. That's a writeup.

Now they are on the chopping block and their kid is starving and wearing rags to school because you thought it'd send a message to mail them glitter, and literally nobody higher than the mailroom boss even knows that it happened. Good work.
