Calling all overseas MNers - My lovely boy has written some letters

243 replies

AllYouNeedIsAClickyBallpoint · 12/06/2012 19:34

He's 7, and is quite taken by stamps.
He's written several letters (I'll give you an example in a minute), and I wondered if there might be some MNers in foreign parts who might help him :)

Here is one of his letters ( in very best joined-up writing:))

Dear Jamaica

If I writ you a letter, please will you send me one back, so I can see your stamps.
I am from England (Great Britan)
Good luck in the Olympics
Love from Allyouneed Junior.

There are similar letters for several countries, and his plan is to put them in an envelope with the country name on the outside, and several stamps.

Would anyone be able to send him a letter with a stamp on?
Thank you. He would be the happiest boy in the world!

We live in Dubai and I could get my little girl to write to him? We are leaving here in July so it would have to be quick!

NunTheWiser · 13/06/2012 06:07

Hi, PM me if you want another Aussie stamp!

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 13/06/2012 05:52

If you want Romania I have a 7 yo DD how can write to him too.

Graciescotland · 13/06/2012 05:39

I'm in Australia, be happy to help.

OhNoMyFanjo · 13/06/2012 05:36

This is so cute. He's is going to be blown away.

sharklet · 13/06/2012 05:30

I can get my DD who is 8 to send him one from the USA if that helps.

PM me :)

ItsallGreektome · 13/06/2012 05:27

Pm me too I live in Greece so can send him one too Smile

bunnygirl80 · 13/06/2012 04:38

I'm in Australia too if you want more than one. If your DS can wait until the end of next month I'm off on hols to Fiji, so could send something from there too

savoycabbage · 13/06/2012 04:27

I can send you one from australia too. I sent a postcard to a mnetter from her child's list dog once and the man on the post office spent ages looking through all his stamps getting the most interesting stamps out of his book.

NeitherShreddedNorSmug · 13/06/2012 04:03

I'm in the US too if you want more than one!

OpheliasWeepingWillow · 13/06/2012 04:02

PM me your address and I will send from far far away Smile

Bloomfieldmom · 13/06/2012 03:58

We are in the US, my six yr old dd would love to write back! Smile you can pm me too..

DronesClub · 13/06/2012 03:49

Didn't spot hong kong on the list but pm me if you want that included.More than happy to help.

Shangers · 13/06/2012 03:43

I can send him a chinese one - might not be until Aug at this rate though as we're heading back to Ireland (not so exciting!) shortly.

Horopu · 13/06/2012 03:37

In fact if he writes to us I can get my class of Y3-Y6s to write back.

Heartstart · 13/06/2012 03:36

Too cute, my ds (7) wrote to the Queen and got a reply with a buck house post mark he was v chuffed

Horopu · 13/06/2012 03:36

I can send one from NZ, if that has not already been offered. pm me.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 13/06/2012 03:29

I can send some from Australia if your son would like. I have a nearly seven yr old ds who is in denial about his writing if he'd like a penfriend from here too!

AdoraBell · 13/06/2012 02:37

I'll see what I can do, next week though as DDs were diagnosed with flu today so we're housebound for a few daysSad We're in Chile.

trinitybleu · 12/06/2012 23:46

I have a friend in Sweden with kids that age, if no one else has got that covered??

sagenod · 12/06/2012 23:01

Aaaww! I'm sure France has already been taken, but if not my DS1 is always upset not to get any letters in the post box and it would make his day! Feel free to PM

lookingforchocolate · 12/06/2012 22:57

pm me and i can ask dd1 friend in egypt to post

weirdscience · 12/06/2012 22:48

I think I have some stamps from poland and the czech republic (I always buy postcards and then never send them Blush) I'll check tomorrow if I can find them and PM you if I do.

I'm also going to spain in a few weeks if you would like a postcard or letter sent.
