Dear all,

We would like to invite you to #ReadALetter...

It could be a letter to anyone, or anything. It could be a letter you've always wanted to send, or a cherished letter you once received. It could be a letter to the NHS, or a friend, or a relative. It may simply be a favourite letter of yours that may brighten everyone’s day.

We've been reaching out to people since the crisis began, and will posting their readings over the coming days. But we would also love to see yours. Please post them to Twitter, or Instagram, or Facebook, and include the hashtag #ReadALetter so we can find them.

For more info, visit the Letters Live website: letterslive.com/readaletter/

Stay connected. Stay safe. Stay at home.

Yours in isolation,
Letters Live
