Letters thrown out to sea always find a recipient. Even after many years and miles of travel, Merle Brandell was strolling along the ocean near the town of Nelson Lagoon on the Alaskan coast, when he noticed a plastic bottle among the rubbish thrown by the waves, and in her… a sheet of paper. People often entrust messages to the sea in sealed bottles. But it rarely happens, that someone would find them after so many years and reach the addressee. The message was sent 21 years before Emily Hwaung, then a schoolgirl 4 primary school classes. After defeating almost 3000 thousand. km fell into the hands of an astonished finder. – The letter is part of our research project on the ocean and people in remote places – little Emily wrote. – Send me information about the place and date of finding the bottle – she asked at the end of the letter. Brandell was trying to find the sender of the strange package. It was not an easy task. No one answered the man's phone calls to North City School in Shoreline County. School, which the girl went to, ceased to exist a year earlier. Only Craig Degginger found an adult woman, spokesman for regional education authorities. The sender of the letter is now a 30-year-old accountant in Seattle by the name of Emily Shih. – I don't remember this project. It was so long ago – Emily says, surprised. – I remember elementary school in a foggy way – she admitted in an interview.
