On September 9, 2020, Brittany Keech, who lives in Michigan, USA, reported on Facebook that a 'very old letter' had arrived. The postmark of this letter was October 29, 1920, and the address was also a person other than Mr. Keech. According to what Mr. Keech told the TV station WXYZ Detroit, when Mr. Keech looked into the mailbox on September 8, the postcard in question was placed at the top of the mail.

'I want to send a letter to myself or my family, so please help me!' Kichi wrote on Facebook. This Facebook post has been noticed by many and has received over 150 comments. On the other hand, in the unlikely event that the sender or addressee is not found, Keech says he will donate it to a local museum.

In many cases like this one. , Free market, antique shop, online purchase, etc. due to re-introduction of letters into our system. As long as we have a deliverable address and the shipping fee is paid, we will accept the card or I will do my best to deliver the letter. '
