I love the idea that 175 people are going to their mailbox and finding a hand-written letter in there.

For the past decade, Charles’ daily routine includes hand-writing 3-4 letters a day, cycling through a list of over a hundred recipients. This is his engaging and provoking story of family tragedy and the resulting unique process and global reach that his letters have obtained.
