Creator Courtney Bennett on September 8, 2010
Aw, I'm sorry you didn't get all the funding you need. If you set up another one I'll be sure to donate again, I love this idea!
Creator Lucy Todd on September 8, 2010
Aw :-( What happens now? I'm really disappointed! But I guess not as much as Lenka and Michael...
Creator Maximilian Warbucks on September 8, 2010
I'm sorry you didn't get it! I like your project a lot.
Creator Michelle Gonzalez on September 6, 2010
I can't believe I found this. I do this in my spare time. I love the feeling of receiving mail and I jump in glee at the thought of other people receiving mail. I have already sent to the UK, Spain, France, Moldova, El Salvador, Argentina, Japan, India, Chile, and a few more. I love you guys already, keep up the writing!
Creator Adam Fletcher on September 5, 2010
Great, great great. I've a somewhat similar mystery project called the Hipstery - http://hipstery.com/ keep up the good word, your letters really surprise and entertain in a world fast losing all its mystery.
Creator Daniel Egger on September 4, 2010
Great idea! We live in a world where we filter our surprises, where we ignore strange information, were a lot of people never NEVER received or have written a letter. I love to be surprised and think that this small elements can change a people, open up an opportunity to reflect about something new he did not searched for our expected.
Great idea, keep going, always!
P.S: I receive from TED regularly a surprise box with books. I know that I will receive one, but I do not know when and which books, games, CDs. Each time when I hold the box in my hands, I am back in my childhood, opening up, waiting to see the surprises. We have lost this feeling, therefore again: keep going.
Creator Marvin and Margaret on September 3, 2010
Happy to support 2 creative people, one of which we're getting to know well...We think we've met the robot but aren't sure....No seizures here. We feel that "people to people" projects like these are just the kind of artistic endeavors we should all be supporting. The movie intro. to the project, by itself, was worth our pledge! Thanks for letting us be a part of your work, and good luck with meeting your goal! Love, M&M
Creator Madelyne Anweiler on August 27, 2010
I wish I could help more because I love mail and love what you are endeavoring to do. I did however, post this again to my facebook (just now) and hopefully my friends will stop being slackers :) and help. All the best to you!
Creator lance lashagway on August 25, 2010
This is so delightful, brilliant and stunning. Thank you.
Creator Lenka & Michael on August 20, 2010
Hi Kathleen,
Me neither! Amazon also accepts debit cards - and Mysterious Letters accepts handwritten IOU's on scraps of napkin...
thanks for wanting to support us
L&M

Creator Kathleen Yologlu on August 20, 2010
I wanted to support you, but I have no credit card. Sorry.
Creator Robin Hunicke on July 22, 2010
So excited that this is happing once more. When I first heard your story I was moved beyond words! Keep making magic - this world certainly needs it!!
Creator Lenka & Michael on July 22, 2010
Hi everyone. Thank-you for all your wonderful pledges, and supportive messages! Amazing. We're already sharpening pencils, and putting loose sheets of paper into piles and so on. Please feel free to pass this on to uncles and neighbours who might still need treasure maps and haiku letters.
Thank-you so much!
Hi Jerry in particular, what a good question! The way to do it is to start a second (third, etc) kickstarter account then you can pledge twice and get two rewards! Thanks for asking. Wonder which two you fancy?
love, Lenka & Michael
Creator Cate Blouke on July 21, 2010
This is pretty much the best thing I've ever encountered, and I'm excited to lend what meager financial support I can. I love sending mail, especially to strangers: I'm an avid postcrosser. If you don't know what that is, you should! www.postcrossing.com
Creator Jerry Siskind on July 21, 2010
I think this is awesome. How do I pledge for 2 or more rewards?
Creator Courtney Bennett on July 21, 2010
I adore this idea! Everybody loves getting mail, and this is so wonderfully quirky and mysterious! I wish I had more to pledge.
Creator Julia Barry on July 21, 2010
I love this! I'm completely broke but will share this with everyone I know....hope you make it!
Creator Lara Adler on July 19, 2010
yesss! I backed your last mysterious letters project and have been eagerly awaiting the next round! I have my postcard reward from last time lovingly displayed in my living room :)
yay!
Creator Lenka & Michael on July 19, 2010
Thanks for the lovely comments and backings (is backings a word?) dudes* and dudettes* ! We've got an amazing amount of pledges but are still flirting with the bottom of the mountain. 'Tis a fine bottom though. Picturesque. Still, do spread the word!
Love,
Lenka and Michael.
* Note: If you'd rather not be refered to as a dude or a dudette then here a few alternatives for you to press your inky thumb against:
Ladies and Germs.
Pals and Gals.
Hairs and Hymns.
Saints and ain'ts.
p.s. Do excuse the quality of this post.
Creator Ryan Bailey on July 17, 2010

This is a super cool project! I'm very happy to back it! My fingers are crossed for you.
Creator Jarslow on June 16, 2010
How could I not back this? We letter writers have to look out for each other -- and with a project as ambitious as yours, you'll need all the support you can get. You have mine.
Creator Matt Kamprath on June 15, 2010
I shall back this at some point before the expiration. best of luck to your project. brilliant idea. you should run for office.
Creator marybeth on June 12, 2010
