Want a Free Letter?
This is quite unusual in this day of electronic mail. it is a personal project of Rick, a Southern Californian who clearly hunkers back for a time when receiving a letter from someone meant something. If you ask him by email, he will send you a hand written letter. It's not a scam, he is apparently quite genuine and your address is safe. What will be in the letter depends on his muse on the day he writes it. I like the idea of this though I suspect it costs him a bit in postage and the time writing letters.
Writing letters can sometimes have nice, unintended consequences. This is a true story of one letter I wrote. At the time in 1983 I was living in N. Ireland and writing technical articles for Vic (later Commodore) Computing magazine. The magazine passed on a letter from a reader, a blind radio amateur, with a technical question. I remember I wrote back a couple of pages in answer.
One year later. I'd set up in business with a mate of mine (writing Computer Games – some history and details here ). My business partner and I went into Belfast to buy a door plate for our business. The chap who did the plate was the father of the radio amateur, recognised my name and we got the plate for nothing as he was so pleased that I'd replied to his son a year earlier!
