Took some time but it got there. Amazing it was not a IRS return.

1775mac, a very interesting story of a 28 year journey. I'm pleased that the family got to enjoy the contents after all these years.n Thanks for posting.
Regards
Mike

Hmmmm, you remind me of a letter sent by me to a friend of mine in 1993 & never arrived.

When do the math & based on my P.O. "tremendous" shipping service:

2011 - 1993 = 18 years!

Since Worldwide P.Os Shipping Time Frame for "Undelivered" letter is standardized, I think I'll be having to wait a "little" bit for another 10 years!
