The Long Lost Art of a Letter

When was the last time you received a letter addressed to you
that wasn't a bill, notice or sales advertisement?

I'm talking about a letter for you,
written with the intent of caring or gratitude.

Michigan State Senator, Randy Richardville, took the time to write Matthew this letter acknowledging his recent achievement in receiving the Arrow of Light in Scouting. Mr. Richardville must have read about it in our local paper.

Matthew said he had no idea what to expect as he opened the letter in front of his school classmates. Then he read it and everyone cheered!

WOW!

Thank you Mr. Richardville for creating an amazing memory for my son.
I will remember the joy and pride on his face forever.

Who are you writing a note to today?
(emails do NOT count)

That's so true. It means so much more when you send a hand written letter than an email.
