For the past two days since I discovered Letters of Note, I have been glued to the computer, pausing only to eat, sleep, earn my meager pittance as a freelancer and email snippets of these amazing letters to loved ones.
The site is curated by a freelance writer who scours for interesting postcards, letters and other written ephemera from interesting people or on interesting subjects.
Check out:
An amazing letter from a father to his little daughter while he is away fighting in WWII
A hilarious, tongue in cheek letter from Al Franken to John Ashcroft
And many more. Kiss productivity at your job goodbye.
