Tønsberg, 9 November

Dear stranger,

You have something to say, and the words keep coming out wrong. That is where I come in.

You tell me what you want to say. I find the words, type them on my old Olivetti, sign them the way you ask, and post them. For forty years I translated other people’s words; now I write the ones people can’t.

These are the letters I write:

• A complaint: firm, fair, impossible to ignore. NOK 450
• An apology, without the excuses. NOK 450
• A thank-you, however late. NOK 350
• A love letter. NOK 600
• A letter to your future self, kept here and posted on the day you choose. NOK 500

To ask for one, write to me. A short note is enough: who the letter is for, what you want them to know, and how to sign it. I answer every note within a week, and you pay when the letter has arrived.

If it helps, here is what to put in your note, and here are the prices in full.

P.S. My address is The Letter Writer, Postboks 1487, 3104 Tønsberg, Norway. I have no email and no telephone. That is rather the point.
