Some messages are never sent. The annoyed email to a coworker, the late-night message to a neighbor, the secret love letter to a crush who\u2019s already taken. There\u2019s a place for these messages.<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last year, BOTIN already collected unsent messages via an analog and a digital mailbox. A moving collection of nearly 100 messages has emerged, including numerous letters to ex-partners, mothers and fathers, teachers, prosecutors, and aliens. The shortest message is two words long and was addressed to an asshole; the longest is three typewritten pages long and was intended for a coworker. The oldest message dates back to 1993.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial company_name=”Anonymous” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cDear ex-wife, I\u2019m sorry for what I did to you.
