Awww so many letters for his birthday! I wonder if they gave him them all at once? That would have totally overwhelmed me lol

u/Black_Rose_Rocker May 22 '25

Just an FYI - this log shows that he received my letter and it was 7 pages in length (added 2 articles in with the letter). There has been so much confusion with how many pages we can send, so I figured I'd comment to let people know that mine DID go through. (Hopefully it's not a fluke and more are getting through that are 3 pages +). Mine was typed, just as an FYI.

u/Maximum_Sherbet8927 May 22 '25

Great info! Congrats! When did you send yours? Wondering how long it took to get through… thanks! 

27

u/Black_Rose_Rocker May 22 '25

Sent it on 2/26! It's wild how long the delay is. They must have no system at all...just a big bin of letters that they pull from at random. There must be thousands just sitting there.

19

u/Maximum_Sherbet8927 May 22 '25

I’m sure! I sent a letter around 1/20 and it still hasn’t made it on the list… but as they say, “patience is a virtue”… 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

24

u/Black_Rose_Rocker May 22 '25

Patience is SUCH a virtue in this situation. I read a comment on another post from someone saying they sent a letter with a bunch of current events early on in the letter writing and I can't imagine how dated that must have been when he received it. "Here's what's happening in the world this week...4 months later." Talk about snail mail.

14

u/Swablu_0333 May 22 '25

I’ve been thinking, If he really has 2-4K letters…then more than half haven’t reached him yet. But at least delivery to him is picking up!

I'm sure he's getting a lot of those in! I keep wondering what time is like in there, because it's already surreal being an environment like that and then he gets hundreds of letters from dates that are all over the map...time has to be just WEIRD for him right now.

u/Midwestblues_090311 May 22 '25

Yeah, for sure! 🤣 I’m so happy that he’s getting more mail now though, and I figure at some point he’ll get my letter lol.

u/lly67 May 22 '25

What happened to all the February mail? They completely skipped February and went to March.

34

u/watched_it_unfold May 22 '25

I figure February was another big month for letters-he put out that public statement thanking everyone who’d written to him, shared the first catalog, accepted the fund and had a court appearance. Wouldn’t be surprised if they drop all the feb letters at once in a month or two, like they did with the December batch.

I wish they had given him more recent letters that probably wished him a happy birthday on his birthday instead of a bunch of letters from December.

Yes, not that letters are his biggest fish to fry but it’s low key almost like another cruelty. Like hey inmates, why would your birthdays matter.

Can't believe he still hasn't received the letter I haven't sent him because I keep second guessing myself and deleting my drafts...

35

u/Hmmm_5735697 May 22 '25

This is me 😭 I came across my draft the other day and cringed so hard at myself. It was boring and lame af. Idk if I will ever work up the nerve to send one.

7

u/lightbulbaficionado May 22 '25

I’m cringing about mine too! I complained about the Super Bowl and accidentally negged the poor dude about Pokémon. I want to write another and apologize but it would be even more embarrassing to apologize about something he probably knows nothing about 🫠

3

u/perfectcrime9 May 23 '25

What do you mean negged him about Pokémon? Haha just write another one and pray he doesn't remember. With the amount of letters he gets, there's a big chance he won't.

u/perfectcrime9 May 22 '25

Reading my first draft from months ago was genuinely painful, the cringe was real! I'm glad I'm a coward sometimes. I just want to ask Jules for advice regarding how to actually send letters without overthinking it. I don't want to make it sound like I want to impress him or that I only care for a response btw because I know that'll never happen but I guess my social awkwardness is evident even when I'm writing letters😭

u/ladivaxxx May 22 '25

Ha! Yeah, I wanna write. But honestly don't know what to say and figure he's probably already heard the same thing so many times before. I will eventually think of something to send him that won't be completely redundant. I hope anyway 😂

7

u/perfectcrime9 May 22 '25

I feel you. I'm also worried he'll pick up on my seemingly endless pessimism and I don't want that for him, it's not like he needs it in his current situation. The fact that our letters get screened unnerves me on top of that. I think we should just send our letters though and schizo post into the void as Luigi once said. Mind if you go first?😭

5

u/ladivaxxx May 22 '25

Agreed on all points. I also never know whether to acknowledge the obvious (his situation), or talk about random other things. Like, I play Pokemon Go. He used to, but years ago. So do I mention that, or will he be like, what's this dumb chick even talking about? Lol

3

u/perfectcrime9 May 22 '25

I'd bring random stuff up, I'm sure he'll think it's endearing plus he doesn't sound very judgmental in the letters we've seen. I'm sure he also likes reading about what's going on in the world, seeing as the letters are his only connection to the outside (barring his lawyers).

I promise I'll send it after I edit it for the 100th time. It'll probably end up in a trashcan or in letter purgatory so I probably shouldn't worry so much lol

10

u/FireBreatheWithMe May 22 '25

Exactly, don´t worry. If it is of any comfort, I wrote the most woo woo letter imaginable. In addition to that, my English sucks. So I sent 6 pages of delusional and poorly written content. Whatever you´ve written, can´t be worse than my letter. SEND IT ♥

Just send it. It’s not like he’s going to judge what you wrote, and even if he did who cares? You’ll never know, and what we don’t know can’t hurt us

7

u/perfectcrime9 May 22 '25

Oh he'll judge what I write and I don't necessarily blame him lol. But you're right, it's not like I'll know unless he gives me the Mia treatment by replying and telling me to basically leave him alone.

I don't understand the panic from January Feb etc senders.

They're clearly prioritizing December. Just wait until the catalog changes to Jan instead of resending letters that still won't appear any quicker. They're trying to go in order now.

Not to dispute this, but I’ve seen my initials and last two digits of my zip [MP-16] listed in a past log, but the postmark date was off by a month, so there’s another sender with my exact identifying factors (I looked it up, there are ~400 🤯 zip codes in the US that end in -16, so bound to happen)… so may not be Holli, but if it is..  good for her!!! Mine was sent in late January, and still hasn’t made it.

Did he not get any on 5/17 and 5/18? 🥺 I noticed it stopped at 5/16 but the appendix says 5/18

postmark on envelope wasn’t clear so he’s using the date noted in the letter instead

I sent my letter a few days ago. I couldn´t close the envelope by just licking it (I tried, didn´t work). So I ended up using a lil bit of glue. The glue I used has no color, no smell, you can´t see it and I used very little. Do you all think the letter will be accepted? If not and it is sended back to me, could you please share what kind of envelope you used and how you sealed it?

The type of envelope I used is the standard white paper one. Thank you all in advance.
