A student from Massachusetts states that after nine years he has received a reply to a letter written by him and sent by post. The student Max Vredenburgh tweeted two photos showing a note with a child's handwriting and a printed, alleged reply letter.
The bottle post office has thus made it over the Atlantic to the French southwest coast, the letter writer is said to have found the bottle on a beach between the places Contis and Mimizan. Vredenburgh threw the wine bottle in August 2010 in Rockport, Massachusetts into the water: Nearly five and a half thousand kilometers away.
On August 21, 2010 I threw a message in a bottle into the ocean from a beach in Rockport, MA. On October 10, 2019 that letter was found on the beach in France. I blown on the mind. 9 years. pic.twitter.com/Af2tEwoQtq

The came more than ten years later, "you have grown very much in this time," it says in the letter, in which the locality is described. Further information was initially unknown, Vredenburgh tweeted that he would keep his followers up to date.
Vredenburgh had forgotten the letter, he told the US television channel CNN, until his father sent him a photo of the paper. "My parents always kept things from our childhood, so I did not think anything of it," he said. Only then did he read the letter from the recipient, "and my heart just dropped".
