An Experiment in the mail

Hello World:

For some time I've had the intention for collecting postage stamps also known as "estampillas" here in Mexico, my occupations and the replacement of physical mail for e-mail has made me gradually lost the interest in collecting them.

Judging myself, I am the sort of person who needs a reason, a motivation to do things, especially when I'm looking to do something beyond the normal duties of everyday life.

So that I happened to ask the world to participate in this experiment to interact with other people to share postal stamps at the same time we do something fun or just to leave a little bit out of the routine, the experiment consists of the following simple steps if you want to participate in this experiment.


1 .- Send me an e-mail to this address "Correo.Geo@gmail.com" In this e-mail you will explain why you want to participate in a couple of paragraphs and indicate me an address to receive normal mail.

2 .- With the e-mail that I receive and review, I'll consider the most sincere and I'll send back an e-mail with an address to whom you will send me a letter.

3 .- The letter that you send to me and where you can write what you want:), an idea, a complaint, a relief, a poem.
In this letter that you send I only ask you to send me a few stamps from your country in addition to those you put it to make it work, I do not want anything special just what you consider that worth to collect.

Note: Please hand-write to me with your natal language but do not use local words that I will not be able to translate, so I will not read your message properly.
I'm not an expert in translations, but I'll enjoy it trying to make it.


4 .- In reply I will answer your letter and the message in your natal language and I'll send in the same way an "stamps" from here from Mexico with the same value of what you paid for the stamps and letter that you sent to me.

5 .- In this Blog, I will publish the stamps that I find come from the participants, so naturally we'll be witnessing the success or failure of this experiment in the mail.

I do not expect to receive thousands of stakeholders for this experiment, nor the quick response to it, because it still needs someone to come to this page and read about this experiment.

These are the words that could help to come by here.

Collection of stamps of Mexico
Collection of stamps of the World
Stamps
Normal Mail
Send to me a letter

Whatever happens ... I have more ideas for how to interact later under the experiment develops, but for now I prefer to wait to see how this idea works here.

Best regards .... and well, "the seed is planted."
