Hi Brent

I pleased to make your acquaintance.

Michael

Hi Brent,

Michele from Coursera! Looks like we've been inspired by something new! I will send something lovely to Sunny South Africa!

Michele

Dear Brent,

Forgive me, please -- I should have sent you this when you joined IUOMA but didn't -- and we have already become IUOMA Friends. Here goes:

"Welcome to IUOMA!

It's a great bunch of folks and I hope that you enjoy exchanging Mail Art with us. I'm your Mentor, and if I can help to ease you into IUOMA in any way, then please don't hesitate to ask and I'll try to explain what's going on and how IUOMA works.

If you haven't already done so, I suggest you take a look at the 'New to IOUMA' page (4th from the left at the top of the IUOMA home page) where you'll find a 10-point Introductory Guide that should give you an insight as to what is going on.

Would you like to exchange some Mail Art with me? If so, send me something to 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France, and I PROMISE to send you something back.

BUT if you want me, or anyone else in IUOMA, to send you any snail mail Mail Art back, you're going to have to provide us with your postal address. If people have to ask you for it, then it gets to be a bit of an unecessary hassle for one and all.

Hoping you enjoy your IUOMA days.

Regards, Val Herman"

Yep, it's visible: thanks!

Welcome to the Union. See you in the post box soon!

Brent, this is the last but certainly not the least welcome message to IUOMA you receive. I’m a celestial mail artist living in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. When you joined IUOMA on June 13 I was unable to welcome you on board.  At the time I was in a celestial journey far beyond the Milky Way. Now, back to planet Earth, I´d love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time to start trading snail mail art. If this is the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:

The Celestial Scribe

Terrene Embassy

The Celestial Republik van Patland

Caixa Postal 24827

Curitiba-PR

80510-970

Brazil

II look forward to see a piece of yours in my terrene mailbox. I will do my homework after receiving yours. This is a celestial promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Republik van Patland official envelope provider.

 Hi there

I have sent you some mail art. Wouldn't it be ironic if your first piece come from me, just down the road! I hope we can become mail art friends.

Hello.
