A Special New Orleans welcome from the founder



Dear New Orleans,
If you're reading this, you've found one of our Mystery Mail invites. New Orleans, this is a big moment for me. You see, Mystery Mail--the very idea, in fact--actually was born in your fair city. I was living there when I thought up the idea to have strangers from different cities/states/countries mail each other packages. Sort of like a penpal, only using objects instead of words. New Orleans, you were supposed to be the city where it all started. I waited so long to include you, New Orleans, because of the post-diluvian postal problems. And now now it is with great pleasure, reverence and fondness, New Orleans, that I welcome you to Mystery Mail. Have a looksie. Sign up for Mystery Mail. New Orleans, folks from around the world would LOVE to receive mysterious packages from you especially.

Love,
The Mystery Mail founder

How to become a Mystery Mailer
Mystery Mail allows you to exchange mysterious packages with a total stranger. Who wouldn't enjoy receiving a mysterious package from a total stranger???

Here's how it works:
1. Send the information below in an email to:
mysterymailparticipant@yahoo.com
2. Your info will be thrown into the random mail generator (i.e, my biggest shoebox) and matched to a mystery mail participant whom you do not know.

3. You and your mystery match will receive each other's name and addresses. You
mail your match a small mystery package filled with strange and curious items (e.g., headless Barbie found on a park bench, a band flyer, a two-headed stuffed animal, etc.).

YES! Bring a little mystery into my life by matching me up with a complete and total stranger with whom I will exchange a strange and curious package!!

Would it be alright if you were matched with an international mystery mailer? The postage would be pricier, but the packages promise to be full of international intrigue! YES? NO?

Any specific package content restrictions you wish to be honored by your mystery mailer?
