The Continue and Persist Letter. A official-looking legal letter that encourages and uplifts people, one that tells people to keep doing what they’re doing! Surprise someone you appreciate by sending them a Continue and Persist Letter.
Oh, yeah, I love the sentiment, but getting a letter like that would absolutely send me into a huge, huge anxiety attack. (Or my spouse would assume it was junk mail and throw it away unopened, given what the envelope looks like.)

Delightful! I love the template, and I just need to work out who to send it to.

I hope it works! I submitted one, and I said I would pay the $3 by venmo, but I haven't gotten a confirmation email, and I can't complete the venmo without the last 4 digits of the recipient's phone number, which aren't available except maybe in the confirmation email I haven't gotten. But that might also just be chalked up to this being just a couple guys doing a nice thing in their spare time and not some automated anonymous project.

Ok I would want to do this. But. I am not sure I would want someone else giving my name and address to internet strangers based on the promise of free goods and services. Am I too suspicious?

I, too, have the same hesitation. Any thoughts on this? I have someone I would love to send this to.

I love the idea but I'd rather do it myself too. Feels like giving out way too much personal detail of me and the recipient.

Sad to say, I never did get the confirmation email, nor did the letter ever come.

I got a chuckle out of the obviously AI generated photos for the creators. LOL.
