"To whom it may concern! I am looking for a kind and good-natured person, willing to send a card to my wife's 80 birthday!" So says a postcard written by Richard Fricker of Munich, Germany and delivered to us here at the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong.
The postcard has a simple request: to send a birthday card to his wife, Ingeborg, who is turning 80 on November 23. He also sent three US dollars for expenses when fulfilling this request.
We're not sure what to think about this: was this a real request or part of some global social experiment? While we try to learn more about Richard Fricker, we decided to take him at his word and go ahead and send his wife a birthday card from Hong Kong.
Here's the address for anyone interested:
Ingeborg Fricker Passauer St 29 81369 Munchen Germany

Thanks for posting. I have already sent Ingeborg a birthday card abd I have also forwarded you clip to friends of mine from different parts of the world. Hopefully Ingeborg will have a very lovely and unforgottable 80th birthday, receiving plenty of greetings from people all over the world. :-)))
Thats really sweet! I hope it is real. Did you mention that she is celebrating her 80th birthday? Then maybe the card behind with the "longevity" Chinese character is more suitable. Hope you get the response^^

Ingeborg is my mothers middle name.
Oh, and what a crazy coincidence,
Ingeborg being your mothers middle name!
