‘I tried. I felt everything’: readers tell us how they would use their last chance to send a letter

With the Danish postal service ending its letter deliveries, we asked what you would put in your final envelope

At the end of December, the Danish postal service will deliver its last letter, focusing on packages, citing the “increasing digitalisation” of society.

While the public will still be able to send letters through the distributor DAO, it made us think about how we would use that last chance to send a letter.

Many people responded to our callout asking what they would write in their last letter and why. Here is a selection.

My wife, Penny, and I moved to Reigate, Surrey, nearly two years ago to be nearer our grandson, Remy, now aged two-and-a-half, after living in Bristol for about 45 years. We look after him one day a week at his home in south-east London.
