Before a letter reaches the addressee, it must go through dozens of hands and procedures. But not always is it possible to deliver it to the person whose address features on the envelope. For example, a letter to God ended up at the Undeliverable Mail Office of the Polish Post in Koluszki where it was carefully studied and analysed with an aim to find the cues that might help to deliver it to the right destination. Unfortunately, in the absence of any useful details, the letter was sent to its last journey.
