TimeMail: Time Travel Email

Mark, a pizza delivery driver in the year 2016, gets an email from his own account, claiming to be himself from 30 years in the future.

Dear Me,

It's you...from the future.

I know what you're thinking—"BULLSH*T"—but I swear it's really me. I'm you.

I'm contacting you through TimeMail (time travel email). This is the first time I've tried it, and I'm not even sure if it actually works, but I have some really important things to tell you about your future—my past—our life. So I thought I'd give it a try.

Anyway, if you (I) receive this message, email me (yourself) back. And tell me something only we would know, so I can confirm it's really you—or me. Once I know this is legit, we can proceed from there.

Yours truly,
You
