Sites that will help postpone the sending of an electronic or paper letter.
Letters to the future are a great way to remind yourself of old dreams and experiences or just share thoughts and emotions that you can’t tell anyone else about. Lifehacker offers a list of services through which you can write to the future to yourself or another person.
1. Future-mail
Through this service you can write a letter with a delay of 1 day to 100 years – not only to yourself, but also to a friend or even a stranger. You are free to attach a file up to 500 KB or a picture from a webcam to the news. Having paid $ 7, it is possible to send a letter in paper form.
To use the site, it will have to register it. Also on Future-Mail there is a section with letters that their senders chose not to hide from the eyes of the public.

2. Mailfuture
One of the simplest services of this kind. Write the message, indicate the name and electronic box of the recipient, as well as the delivery date, and then wait.
The letter can be sent for a maximum of 100 years ahead, but it is worth choosing a smaller term: the site is on pure enthusiasm, so at any time it can cease to exist. However, the authors say that the cost of maintaining the service is minimal, so it is unlikely to close it soon.
