Summarise a Drawer Full of Unopened Post Into What Needs Action This Week
The drawer has been quietly filling for weeks and somewhere in there is either an overdue bill or a leaflet for a pizza place that closed last year. This sorts the pile into urgent, routine and bin, and turns it into five things worth doing this week instead of a vague guilty mountain of everything.

<task>
**Summarise the backlog into what needs action this week:**
{POST_LIST} is a rough list of the post (sender, date if known, and any text visible on the envelope or opened so far).
1. Sort the items into three groups: urgent (deadlines, threats of action, anything time sensitive), routine (statements, renewals, general correspondence), and safe to bin (marketing, duplicates)
2. For the urgent group, name the deadline or risk for each item as far as it can be worked out from the input
3. Give a short, doable action list for this week only, not the whole backlog
4. Note plainly which items cannot be assessed properly from the description given and should be opened and checked directly
</task>
<output_format>
- Three headed groups: urgent, routine, safe to bin, each a short bullet list
- A this week action list of no more than five items, ordered by urgency
- A short note on anything the input could not judge properly
- Tone: matter of fact, no shame about the backlog
