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

[AllYouNeedIsAClickyBallpoint]

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!

Can send from Qatar, we have big stamps!

[instantfamily]

Isn't MN great?

[AllYouNeedIsAClickyBallpoint]

Instant - not only is it great, it is an education!
I now know where Qatar is, and that its capital is Doha :o

I will forget this fact in about 5 minutes.
Knowing ds, he will remember it for ever :o

I am in the Philippines, let me know if you would like one from me!

[showtunesgirl]

Wow, I never knew how global Mumsnet is!

[ChuckUFarley]

Sorry if France is already done but ds (5) loves writing letters to people and would be thrilled to send your ds one.

[lagartija]

Can send you one from Spain if you like?

[monkeybumsmum]

Another one from Belgium here, if your ds fancies receiving multiple stamps from one country PM me if you'd like!

[Bartimosaurus]

Ahh this is lovely. Was going to offer France (and some scribbles from a 9 month old) but I see there are some older children in France with willing pens!

Must remember in a few years time to ask mumsnet to find a penpal for DS....

[Bartimosaurus]

Let us know his reaction when he starts receiving letters!

[notmydog]

Your poor postman

[quirrelquarrel]

Sent this morning....was amazed at how cheap the postage came to!

[savoycabbage]

Verity, my dd is a young 8 if you want to write to her let me know.

[Jenda]

I live in england so cannot help but I love this thread, hormonal and weeping quietly at my desk. lovely people and lovely mum!

[Jenda]

PS please update us when he starts receiving them!

[Frakiosaurus]

Mauritius?

And probably a couple of random African countries if I smile sweetly at friends! Last week I'd have got DH to do one from Madagascar.

[FormerlyTitledUntidy]

Sent mine today so expect it for Friday or Saturday :)

[TheGalliantLadyDidymus]

Has anyone mentioned South Africa?

I can sort that out if you pm me.

[AllYouNeedIsAClickyBallpoint]

Squeeeeeee!
One from the Isle of Man - what a big waterwheel!

Another with Armenian stamps.

Thank you

I've bought him a world map, and stickers, and he now thinks he'd like to have a letter from every country in the world :o to fill his map!
Time to get on to some Embassies I think :)

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Canada is winging it's way to you, with a pony on the stamp.

I love this thread. Your DS must be so excited, how does he sleep at night knowing that the postman might bring him all these exciting letters from anywhere and everywhere?
