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!

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

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.

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.

I can't help on the stamps thing but have you considered the travelling teddy bear? Probably better to use a school address or a PO Box.

Basically Teady starts off with a message, usually from a class of primary school kids. Teady is passed on via people travelling abroad where he/she has adventures and sends pictures, or in your case post cards with stamps, before he goes on to his next destination. He/she usually has a back pack containing a notebook so people who host teddy, or help with travel can write about who they are.

Sometmes he travels alone in the hold of a plane, but mostly he hitches a lift with someone travelling from his current location to the next one.

When his log book is full he returns home.
