I mailed some from different parts of the list. The ones I got back were from the top area. One was the very first one.

I was going to do this, but thought I could do it via email, too worried to give out home addy, never mind

Just a general letter a bit about what they do etc. Seemed very pleased to hear from me, very glad I wrote!! Interestingly, it was handwritten, don't know why but I was expecting a typed one!

Also, the address is completely different to any I wrote to so I can't even work out which was the successful one!! But anyway, it reached someone so thanks emma for the list!!!!

Hope everyone else gets a reply soon! :T

Thanks to emmab for the list!

I only wrote to one person (Op Herrick) on Sunday morning and my letter has been printed and sent for delivery at the BFPO terminal.

If you log in to the ebluey site, you can click on Reports (at the top) and then click on Delivery Status (in the drop down menu). You have the options of viewing the various reports and it will tell you when your email was downloaded and printed and passed on.

I haven't had a reply as yet but was really surprised with how quickly the emails are dealt with!!

Hope this helps as at least we know we've got the first bit right!

I felt sure there would have been a lot more responses by now!!

I imagine they have had a big response. Each person may have received so many letters that they cant answer them all so I think its unlikey we will all get a response.

If you do get a response, please tell them about the yahoo group...... http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Forcespenpals/
