They're planning to write a letter to as many people around the world as they can. They started off with a small town in Ireland, and are preparing to move on to the next one. Each letter is as personal as possible, and most are pretty random. Check out their blog <a href="http://mysteriousletters.blogspot.com/">here</a>. You can also make a donation towards postage. I hope they get round to sending letters to Brighton soon, I'd love to get one!Bronwyn Oplandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04526969921910616883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128332282602154553.post-56790071938788261432010-01-16T23:23:00.002+00:002010-01-16T23:28:21.847+00:00Letter TopicsHere are some letter ideas to get you started:<br />- pretend you are writing to the love of your life and write all the things you would like to say to them.<br />- make some images if you don't know what to say.<br />- concoct a grand plan which you know you will never follow through with.<br />- give details of really awkward or embarrassing experiences<br />- describe a recent dream<br /><br />I hope that is enough to inspire you and get you started.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128332282602154553.post-60887364106462688022010-01-12T21:13:00.000+00:002010-01-12T21:18:06.405+00:00Invitation to joinCalling all letter lovers<br /><br />If you like receiving and sending letters, then why not gain a pen pal? The system works so that you are to be matched up with someone you don't know; sending and receiving as many letters as you wish. You can also go by a pseudonym if you like.<br />Letters are nice. They're like little presents in the post.<br />When you get a letter (or if you are particularly proud of your own) put it on the blog as a post for all the world to see.The Secret Pen Palhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00903356151971191413noreply@blogger.com2
