Royal Mail goes the extra mile to deliver an unaddressed letter

Royal Mail has yet again gone above and beyond to deliver a letter without even an address to go on. 

It was delivered successfully to Feargal Lynn’s house despite only addressing him by his first name, following a brief description of his life. 

Excited to receive his letter, Lynn shared his post to Twitter with the comment: “Hearty applause to @RoyalMail Cushendall and Ballymena for being able to deliver this letter to me today got a much-needed laugh! They had a first name, the village where I grew up and half the postcode.. the rest is more like my life story!”

The envelope of the letter read like a sweet human being describing an old friend, “Feargal, Lives across the road from the Spar, his ma and da used to own it, his mother was Mary and Da Joseph.”

Continuing to explain the journey of Feargal’s life, the ‘address’ went on, “Moved to Waterfoot after he got married, plays the guitar and used to run discos in the parochial hall and the hotel in the 80s.”

Lynn explained that the letter was from a friend he knew all his life who he wrote to late last year but forgot to add a return address.

The friend in question then decided to take a chance on the good post-people of the world and entrust them with her letter reply.

Feargal said, “I wrote to a friend over Christmas whom I’d known all my life from summer holidays and I didn’t put my address on the letter – this was her response. It was like seeing my life on an envelope.”
