How a letter gets to you

Five steps, all by people, from your town to your mailbox.

1. Step 1

   You tell us your town and what you like. Up to three picks, and a note if you want.

2. Step 2

   We match you with a writer who lives near you. They get your first name, your town, your picks and your note. Never your address.

3. Step 3

   Your writer sits down with a pen and writes your letter by hand.

4. Step 4

   Our mail desk addresses the envelope, adds a real stamp and our wax seal, and mails it.

5. Step 5

   You get an email the day it mails: Your letter from Margaret is in the mail. It shows up a few days later.

Want to answer? Mail it to Hometown Letters, P.O. Box 1842 and we'll pass it to your writer. They still won't see your address.
