"Today write a message to the future. Mark the envelope "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL JUNE 1, 2104." Begin the letter with today's date and To Whom It May Concern. Suitable topics: world peace, evolutionary trends, suggestions on how to deal with living on other planets, predictions, anectodes from our time that might interest future generations (sport, 'hot news', society, dress trends, etc.). Hide the envelope so taht it won't be found for a hundred years."

To Whom It May Concern:
I come to you from the past. The distant, distant past. You most likely somehow found this letter floating in space. The planet Earth most likely was destroyed within fifty years after I wrote this. The country I lived in battled with various other countries over senseless things and... well, we just blew up the place. Sorry. Please enjoy the enclosed catalog of 1980s fashion.
