Letters Anonymous is an online community for people to submit their letters anonymously.
Letters have an intentional reader and are crafted with purpose, time and dignity. They can be playful, serious, nostalgic, poignant or confessionary. They can be open letters to society or personal letters to the people you love, miss or never met.
Letters may be addressed to someone else but they are a sounding board for ourselves. In a world where we often struggle to connect and listen to each other, letters can fill that gap.
Everyone has a letter to write. To write yours click here.
Update, Jan 2024
Thank you so much for supporting this website. It will always be free to use. However, due to an exponential increase in letters over the last few years, there is currently a large backlog of letters to be published. Please save a copy of your letter elsewhere if you would like to re-read it as there is no guarantee it will be published.
The website is completely free and will never have advertisements. I fund the £££s of website fees with my own money and update the site in my spare time, because I believe we should all have an outlet to express ourselves. If you’d like to support and help keep Letters Anonymous you can Buy Me a Coffee. I’d really appreciate it ❤️

My story
Hello, my name is Rebecca and I created Letters Anonymous in 2018 because I craved a safe space to write out my thoughts and help people feel less alone in their private struggles.
The first letter that appeared on the website was a letter I wrote to my brother, who had been suffering with severe OCD and depression for many years.
I worried about him everyday. I could see that the love and support my family and I were giving to him was not getting through. We felt helpless watching his quality of life deteriorate as he sunk deeper into the illness. I wanted to write him a letter to show him how much I cared. So he could look back in the future and remember how far he’d come.
I also wanted to write a letter because I knew we weren’t the only one experiencing something like this. So I created this website and sent him the link to the letter. It helped us both.
Since then my brother’s mental health has vastly improved (thanks to specialist therapy and medication, amongst other things) and Letters Anonymous has grown into a lovely little corner of the internet where people can read and write letters about anything they want to get off their mind.
In doing so, I hope we can feel more connected to the other humans we share this planet with 💚
