Mumford and Sons Success!!!!!! With a handwritten letter!!!!

[cirquedufreak95]

Helloooo~

I saw this in my mailbox and didn't think too much of it until I opened the envelope and saw the top of the photo. I started crying even before I saw any of the signatures or even took the photo out of the envelope. I am such a huge fan of Mumford and Sons (they were one of my most wanted) and I had thought that I would never get this back!

I sent a LOR, SASE, and one photo on May 18, 2012 to:

Mumford and Sons
c/o St. David's Hall
The Hayes
Cardiff CF10 1AH
UK (No longer valid)

They were doing a show there and I was told that my letter would be handed directly to them. It has been such a long time, I just sort of assumed that I was never going to get it back. Maybe I missed them, right? I was actually thinking about this request earlier today, too. I think it just got lost in the mail- the envelope is a wreck.

Today, November 29, 2012, I received my photo back signed by all four members and behind my photo was a piece of folded paper. When I saw the paper in the envelope, I took it out, screamed, and threw it on the table. I was actually kind of afraid to open it for some reason-that's how excited I was for this response. The letter is dated June 14. They performed on May 30, so it may have taken them a bit to work their way through their fan mail. It reads:

Hi Desiree,

Thanks a lot for your letter.

It always means a lot to us to hear our music is valued as much by other people as it is by us! Thank you for your kind words.

We are back in London setting up the release of our second album in September but will be in the USA in August, so maybe see you at a gig.

Take care and much love,

Ted and the {I can't make out this word....I think it is supposed to say "boys" but I'm not sure...any help will be greatly appreciated!}

Thank you so much Mumford and Sons! (And especially you Ted, if you are reading this! Thanks for the letter!!!)
