This is such a great idea!
Is this only open for UK residents?

For the organisations I have listed, you would send your letters to a UK address, but they would welcome letters from anywhere in the world! There are bound to be similar organisations in other countries, the search term I used was “donate write letters for charity”.

I would love to get in on a snail mail exchange with someone. I think the idea of snail mailing is quickly becoming a lost art in our world with the age of computers and email. I think snail mailing and putting pen to page is a lot more personalized. Even some of the great modern authors begin their novels with pen to page long before they sit down to the computer. If anyone would like to do a snail mail exchange I will be more than ecstatic about doing so. 

 

A short biography, I am a 56-year-old male, I was born and raised in Utah in the United States, (no, I am not Mormon), and at the ripe age of 23, I joined the United States Marine Corps, and spent the next 30 some odd years serving the Marine Corps and my country in both active duty and in civilian capacity. I've traveled all over the world and met many interesting people and had great adventures and spent time with some very interesting cultures. I love to fish, I love he outdoors, I love to sit down and write, even if it's only my own journal. I began a love for fountain pens back in the 1990s when I was traveling in the Marine Corps. I was given a Cross pen as a gift, and fell in love with it. I collected many pens over the years until hurricane Florence destroyed my home in North Carolina, and took everything with it. Including my beloved Cross pen. I have recently started buying a few new pens and I'm starting to collect a few to get back into the groove. I have since relocated back to Utah, and enjoying a quiet existence.

 

I am an avid reader on many subjects. For my enjoyment I like thrillers, and for learning it could be almost any subject. I love history, science, theology, mathematics, too many to list really.  My friends tell me I'm just a big sponge for knowledge. I love to learn new things and I'm always open to the ideas and opinions of others. And I am always open to the free exchange of ideas.

 

If anyone would like to correspond via snail mail, I would very much enjoy that. Feel free to send me a private message and we can exchange addresses.

 

Be aware, I have never received any commendations for my penmanship. Read at your own risk. 😂🤣

 

Yours in ink,

You should check out one of the more recent USPS stamp issues - fishing lures! 

 

(I'm not looking to take on any new penpals at the moment).
