My letter never came. :( I spent ages writing it and describing my feelings and what I planned for my future. I had detailed my improvement plan for 10 years. Randomly I remembered this service and was disappointed since I didn't receive the email.

Have you tried registering? Assuming you've used the same email address, it lets you see them.
Maybe this service can just be replaced by a journal. Or email the letter now and put it in folders with names like "do_not_open_till_2040".
Another alternative, if you use a digital calendar consistently, is to create a calendar event in the future and write the letter to your future self in the event notes.

Google (gmail) has a send later option which I use all the time as a reminder for all kinds of things. It's been 100% reliable. I actually have an email setup to be delivered 16dec2024. I use it for all kinds of medium/long-term (often mundane) reminders.
