A Letter A Day

One year, 365 letters. A letter a day. My resolution for 2006. I’ve always enjoyed writing letters and I want to get back in the habit. I'm not limiting myself to a letter a day. 365 is just the minimum. My goal is to get a 20% response rate. This is the official chronicle of my “year of writing letters.” Thanks for reading! - Chris Lucas

A non-reply from a sports legend




Michael Jordan


Reference Date: August 18th






When I wrote to this living legend of sports, one of the biggest stars on the planet, I expected to get no response at all. That's why I was happy to get this letter from his office, as well as a personally autographed picture of "His Airness." Here is what they had to say:

Dear Mr. Lucas:

Thank you for writing. We are humbled to hear how Michael has inspired you in his quest for excellence.

We apologize that he is unable to personally respond to you. However, we wanted us to acknowledge your gracious letter.

Please accept the enclosed autographed photo as a token of Michael's esteem and appreciation for your support as well as our best wishes for success in your endeavor.

Sincerely,

Leslie

Assistant to Michael Jordan


I sent them a thank you the next day.
