A bilingual letter-exchange club concept for sending handwritten mail to a random penpal or someone you already know, with an operator forwarding letters so members need not share home addresses.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-25 issue.
For
People seeking handwritten penpal exchanges without sharing home addresses
Worth noticing
Letters are sent to a postal hub with a member ID; the page says the first shared letter has not arrived yet.

Field notes

The proposed exchange has separate paths for a random penpal and a person the member already knows. For the latter, the page specifically describes sending a note to an online friend without exchanging home addresses. Letter photos are meant to be shared only after operator review, with names and addresses left out; the page says no first letter has arrived yet.
