More than five decades after exchanging handwritten letters to practice English, a German man is hoping to reunite with the Filipina pen pal he lost touch with. A Reddit user who identified himself as “Harry” said he used to write letters to a girl named “Madelyn” in 1970. Harry said his English teacher had arranged a pen pal connection so they could practice their English skills when he was living in East Germany. He shared that he received a “beautiful photo” from Madelyn, who he said was “about 16 years old in 1970.” A pen pal is someone with whom one exchanges letters, typically without having met in person.
