Erik from Montreal, Canada
15 years old • High school student • Drone enthusiast
Hello,
I am someone from Canada, that just wanted to try an experiment. I send this package & letter to a random address in hope to get a reply.
I am 15 years old, and live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I go to high school. I live in a house with my parents, sibling, a guinea pig, and a cat.
I have a drone, and often take some pictures/videos of scenery around my neighborhood, or when I go somewhere. I included a picture I took with my drone.
I also build some websites just for fun. At this link, you can find the full letter you are reading now, and I may add more if I think of anything else. You can check back for updates if needed. URL: letter.samoletko.com
I won't share with you a picture of myself just in case the address was of someone that shouldn't get this information, sorry.
I included a pack of gum just for fun. I sent a whole package, so at least use it.
I now really hope that you send me a reply, so I could find out if my experiment worked.
If you can, the best will be for you to send me a letter by mail. It's the return address on the package. If that isn't possible, or you don't want to. You can simply send me a quick message by email, saying you received that from me. Mine is samoletko@gmail.com
If you send me a letter, you can also send a quick email, saying something like "received your letter from Canada, I just send you my reply", so I know you did your job, and I will receive your letter later. That's not necessary, it just makes it better.
I would gladly appreciate if you gave me just your first name, and maybe some info like your age, just so I have an idea who got picked. I can answer questions from you if needed. I won't forget about that.
Not to press too much, but could you also give me like 5-10€? It would be very appreciated. So I can cover the shipping cost of the package I sent to you. Don't worry about the currency or anything: it's all just a bonus for me. I know you might think that a letter is better than a box, but the shipping was similar price, and you will probably be more likely to react to a random box than a letter. I am still a kid; I used my own money for this experiment. If you do this, it will just make it better, but don't worry, I'll be also fine without.
I used an Amazon cardboard box just because we have a lot at home.
In case you wonder how your address was picked, I asked ChatGPT for a random address.
This was just an experiment from my part, to have some fun, and hopefully get a reply from you.
I'll print 2 copies in case the ink wears off, or similar issues.
I shipped this beginning of January for reference.
Sincerely,
Erik
