I wrote regularly to Bezos and a couple of others I am not going to name. I have a friend who wrote to Trump when he was POTUS every day..first thing in the morning when he wakes up. I admire that kind of dedication and discipline.

Did you use the jeff@amazon.com address? I heard it was manned by a team of customer service people who were not materially different from regular Amazon customer service, at least in recent years. Did you have a different experience?

Your friend wrote to Trump every day? For how long? The entire term? Did he ever get a response?
- jelliclesfarm 4y ago
  every single day. like it was his morning pages. i was very impressed. i think he needed to..it was very important to him. i dont think he got a response..at least the last time we communicated. he is very active in the local politics and party stuff. was hoping to run for local office.

    What kind of stuff was he writing him about? I can see the letters devolving over time, like Stan. Did he also write his representatives? It seems like that's what they are there for.

      He is very active in local politics. He got letters from others too.

you know even minor politicians have staff who handle this kind of things for them, right? Especially if this person is writing very often, it's unlikely to get elevated to trump's actual attention, because the people who handle the mail recognize someone who sends tons of letters.

writing letters to public figures..it is an exercise. when i was a youngling, my grandmother and I would write to everyone..letters to the editor in english and to the vernaculars. that's how she learnt english and i learnt tamil(my mother tongue). and we'd read art buchwald columns in the mornings together. i guess that's how i learnt english too. i didnt really expect jeff bezos to reply back to me. i doubt if trump ever replied to my friend. altho he did show something with the official WH seal..could be a form letter. i plan to publish all the letters i have written and maybe the replies after i 'retire'. it is fun reading!
