# Future Letters

> Write a letter to the person you will be, choose when it opens, and it waits, sealed, until then.

A Future Letter starts with **Dear future me,**.

1. Open **Letters** and press **Write a letter**.
2. Write your letter. If you like, add a few words for the envelope, such as "For a hard day".
3. Choose when it opens: in a month, in three months, in six months, in a year, on a date, or **When I need it**.
4. Press **Seal the letter**.

## Sealed means sealed

A dated letter stays closed until its day. Its text is not shown anywhere before that. Once a letter is sealed it cannot be changed. That is what makes it a letter. You can delete it.

## A letter for when you need it

A letter kept for **When I need it** can be opened at any time, on purpose: Hopeloo asks once, "Open this letter now?".

When a dated letter is ready, your garden tells you.
