Letter from my dead grandma

so my brother received a birthday letter from my grandmother today which contained a hand written note and a 20 dollar check. the weird thing is that the card was wishing him a happy 12th birthday, even though he is 26 and his birthday is in early april. the weirder thing is that my grandmother has been dead for 10 years, and the letter was postmarked at march 30th 1998. i guess it got lost somewhere in the mail system for over 10 years, and just got delivered now. he took the check to the bank just to see what they would say about it, and they wouldnt cash the check since her account is closed. it was very weird.

Oh shit. Thanks for making this thread OP. If my grade 6 teacher delivers, I will receive a letter from myself that I wrote in grade 6 made out to our future grade 12 self. I have no fucking idea what I wrote, but it was probably some dumb bullshit. Can't wait! If I do get it I will try to come back here and post what I wrote.

Wow. I think that would make me kind of sad. I hope he holds onto that letter, I would never lose that if I was in his shoes. I have to wonder though, where the hell did that letter sit for all of those years? Also, does that mean that there is hope for my blue Oakley retro crowbars to one day show up on my doorstep that were lost by USPS a few years ago?

We did this in 6th grade at one school and got it back on graduation.

Also did it in 8th grade and recieved it junior year. Its sweet seeing your answers when ur in 8th grade cuz they asked us like who we have crushes on and what kind of crazy shit we like to do. The 6th grade one i was just immature and wrote "Ghetto" and "Pimp" and "Michael Jackson" in every response lol.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, 2007 isn't coming back.

Also I have just decided to write a letter to someone for when I die, just to freak them out. Like "Jake left you this letter." and they'll be like wow cool! and I'll be like no.
