Mysterious Reply to 8-Year-Old's Letter to 'God' Draws Wide Online Attention

The response arrived more than six months later in a prepaid Royal Mail envelope with no return address.

Overview

  • The Somerset child wrote to “God, Cloud 9, Heaven” after her parents declined her request to adopt another dog.
  • A typed reply eventually told her that “God…hears every prayer and answers them at the right time.”
  • The envelope bore prepaid Royal Mail postage with handwritten addressing but no return details or cancellation marks.
  • Her parent shared the exchange on Reddit as u/normal-ad2587, where the post gained over 7,000 upvotes and was reported by Newsweek and Hindustan Times.
  • The sender has not been identified, and while some suspect a Royal Mail sorting center in Northern Ireland, there is no confirmation; the family says the girl was delighted.
