Toss a message in a bottle into the surf of the Intenet sea. Eventually, it may wash up in the form of E-mail on someone's personal beach.

And one day soon, you may be walking in the crisp early morning air along the shore freshly swept clean by the high tide, and at your feet you'll catch the glimmer of something half-buried in the sand. Could it be...?

Scribble your note and seal it up, then cast it out into the currents as hard as you can.
