Job application letter returns to woman 48 years after it was sent

A woman in Lincolnshire applied for her dream job and never received a response, she found out why. Just 48 years later.

A resident of Gedney Hill in Lincolnshire, Tizi Hodson, was having a normal day until the point when she opened her post to find the original application letter she had sent for a job as a motorcycle stunt rider.

The letter, sent in 1976, had been stuck behind a drawer at a post office for 48 years, as per BBC.

Luckily, the “stuck letter” did not hinder Hodson’s dream of living a daring life as she later found a job that took her all over the world.

Still, the sender termed the return of her letter as “amazing”.

“I always wondered why I never heard back about the job. Now I know why,” she said.

BBC also reports that the letter came with a handwritten note saying, “Late delivery by Staines Post Office. Found behind a draw [sic]. Only about 50 years late”.

Interestingly, Hodson added that she has moved houses 50-odd times, even moving countries four or five times in the past 48 years and how they were able to find her remains a mystery for her.

She further added that the letter coming back to her “means so much” to her after all this time.

Hodson even reiterated typing the letter in her London apartment almost 50 years ago.
