This is a really interesting concept. Simply type up a letter online (up to 800 characters), enter a destination address, and they'll post your snail-mail letter free of charge to any country on their letter map. Make sure you use a real email address (or 10-minute mail) as you'll need to respond to a confirmation email.

Letters are handwritten and posted by volunteers who are participating in this experiment. You can become a volunteer yourself and write snail mail for other people as well.

I can only imagine some of the interesting uses people will come up with. Please share in the comments section.

Time for some fun. Enjoy :)

    You should add in the description that the letters are handwritten and posted by volunteers who are participating in this experiment. You can become a volunteer yourself and write snail mail for other people as well.

      You just activated many braincells that are in the locked part of my brains NSFW Or elsewhere compartment

      How about a letter to each of the G20 leaders giving praise, or asking for a refund of 1/24mil share of the Australian tax payers cost to be sent back to me/you if the meeting did not meet expectations.

      OK I suppose it would it will be hard to get refund as the expectations are set at ?…….

      Thanks op.

    Well, the good news is we officially received more letters today than any other day of our project's entire existence!!
    The not-so-good-news is our backend server temporarily shut down our email capabilities because we exceeded their limits… by 2,500!!!
    Fear not. Everything is now in order.
    This just means that a few hundred folks won't have received a confirmation email from the hours of 7-10pm PST. So we're manually confirming for you and your letter request is going off to a letter artist!

      That's not fair!
      A lawyer from Nigeria sent me email to tell me that my deceased cousin in Nigeria left me with USD 1,000,000. Your cousin is 56 times better than mine :(

    • Vortex99 on 14/11/2014 - 13:57

        but PMs have some lackey write their letters for them, huh?
        to the numnut who negged me, it was a joke, read your history, ex PM Howard refused to say sorry, Rudd said sorry in Mandarin, and Jooolia, uh, the less said about her the better…

        • Lord Fart Bucket on 14/11/2014 - 13:51

          Yes, they do.
          And more than a lackey, an entire department.

    • nahi11 on 14/11/2014 - 17:13

      Well for those who have lost people on that flight, 'shirtfronting' or doing anything is better than nothing. If it were a less powerful figure, I am sure Tony would be receiving applause.

    I thought of some mischievous things but how about finding out the details of a hospital/nursing home or even soldiers on operations and send them a free letter. Something to raise morale or bring a little happiness to a stranger's day. Maybe just tell them about what you are doing on the other side of the world, tell them about your life in AUstralia, I am sure they would get a kick out of it.
