I used to have 34 penfriends when I was in high school. I got all these pen pals from organisation called "International Youth Service (IYS)" based in Turku, Finland. Eventually I lost touch with my penfriends when I moved due to education, jobs etc.

My very first penfriend was Betty Marie Jensen from a small place called Nibe, Denmark. I tried to find her on the internet, sent a letter to her old address. No luck. All I know is her name, old address and birthdate. I have her photos, but I don't want to publish them on the internet for her privacy. Is there any government agency besides postal service who can forward my letter to her?

Recently, I tried to revive this hobby. Unfortunately, IYS is closed now. I found a few good penpals on GlobalPenfriends.com Also tried several other websites like Interpals, Penpal World etc. but they are full of scammers.
