Royal Mail has done it again and gone above and beyond to deliver a letter to the right place without even an address to go on.
The letter in question was delivered successfully to Feargal Lynn’s house despite only addressing him by his first name, following a brief description of his life.
Beaming to receive his letter, the care worker shared his post to Twitter with the comment: “Hearty applause to @RoyalMail Cushendall and Ballymena for being able to deliver this letter to me today got a much needed laugh!”

He continued: “They had a first name, the village where I grew up and half the postcode.. the rest is more like my life story!"
The envelope of the letter read like a sweet human being describing an old friend: “Feargal, Lives across the road from the Spar, his ma and da used to own it, his mother was Mary and Da Joseph."
Continuing to explain the journey of Feargal's life, the 'address' went on: "Moved to Waterfoot after he got married, plays guitar and used to run discos in the parochial hall and the hotel in the 80s."

The letter write also added: “Friends with the fella runs the butchers in Waterfoot too.”
Lynn revealed that the letter was indeed from a friend he'd known all his life who he wrote to late last year but forgot to add a return address.
The friend in question then decided to take a chance on the good post-people of the world and entrust them with her letter reply.

Feargal said to Belfast Live: “I wrote to a friend over Christmas whom I’d known all my life from summer holidays and I didn’t put my address on the letter - this was her response.
“It was like seeing my life on an envelope."
This is notably not the first time postal workers have gone to great lengths to make sure letters arrive safely.
There have been many other viral letter journeys in the post office past, including an envelope addressed to famous historian Neil Oliver.

Oliver uploaded this letter to Twitter that made it through his front door despite listing 'lives near Stirling Castle' as the address.
He captioned his tweet: "This gives me faith, in so many ways."
Despite these great success stories however, LADbible does not, I repeat DOES NOT endorse testing this theory yourselves as there is obviously no guarantee your post will reach its destination.

For the lucky few that this has worked for however, I'd thank your extremely dedicated person if I was you.
