WRITE TO ME
I don’t have email, or a telephone I answer. That is rather the point.
Copy this out, or print the page, and fill in the blanks. Write as badly as you like; that’s my job.

Post it to them / to me (please cross out one).
I would / would not like to see a draft first.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
I answer within a week, with the letter or a draft. You pay when it has arrived.
“If you are reading this, you made it to fifty. I hope you still sing in the car.”
From a letter to a future self, opened at fifty. Read the letter
