Keep it human

A real person will open what you send. Write like that matters.

What belongs here

Honest thoughts, small stories, things you needed to say, and words that might make a stranger feel less alone. Letters can be funny, sad, ordinary or hopeful.

What doesn’t

• Threats, harassment or hate
• Sexual content or requests
• Instructions for self-harm or violence
• Names, contact details, links, advertising or scams

If a letter crosses the line

Use Report this letter after opening it. You can also block future matching with that sender without learning who they are. Every letter leaves the delivery pool after one successful delivery. If no matching letter is available, your daily allowance stays available.
