Is it possible to repent from stealing a sum of money from a company without returning it directly, and merely sending it via mail anonymously with an explanatory letter, for fear of damaging one's personal and family reputation?

Repenting from wrongfully taking people's money is a grave matter, and its completeness lies in returning the rights to their owners. It is not a condition for someone who wishes to return rights to disclose their identity; the intention is simply for the right to be returned to its owner. Find a suitable way to return these rights to their owners while preserving your dignity.
