Correct or not no. 79

Dear All,

Is the following sentence correct as far as the intended meaning goes?

I'm pleasantly surprised that no-one went through your parcel...

The intended meaning is: nobody opened the parcel and checked its contents or stole anything. If there's a better way to say it, please let me know.

Thanks

That is OK.

Personally I would write "no one" as two words, but the hyphenated spelling is also accepted.
