Write to Future You
Fill out the form below, then handwrite your letter and mail it to us. We'll seal it, store it, and mail it back on the date you choose.
How the handwritten version works
This is the one where your actual handwriting comes back to you — the crossed-out words, the pen that ran out halfway through, all of it. You write the letter on whatever paper you like and mail it to us. We keep it sealed and mail it back on the date you chose, one month to two years from now.
It's $19, paid once, and that covers the storage and the tracked mail-back. US addresses only for now.
Order here first
Pick your delivery date and return address. After checkout you’ll get our mailing address and a verification code.
Write it, seal it, mail it
Write the code on the back of the envelope so we can match it to your order. Want extra privacy? Put the sealed letter inside a second envelope — we only open the outer one.
We hold it, unopened
It sits sealed in a climate-controlled, fire-resistant safe until your date, then goes back to you with tracking, still sealed.
Questions people ask here
Do you open or read my letter?
Never. Handwritten letters stay sealed the entire time. We don’t open, read, or copy them.
What if I forget to write the code on the envelope?
We’ll try to match it by the name on your order, so make sure the name on the letter matches. The code makes it much easier, though.
What if I move before it comes back?
Email support@holdmyletter.com with your verification code and new address any time before your delivery date and we’ll update it.
What happens to my letter if you go out of business?
Every stored letter gets mailed back to the sender’s return address. It comes home either way.
