Today we will be studying Item number SCP-521: The Postbox, Object class: Safe.


SCP-521 is a red postbox, of a design commonly used in the United Kingdom by Royal Mail. 
 
SCP-521-X are to be denoted numerically and stored per procedures above when retrieved.
 
When a letter is inserted through the letter slot of SCP-521, the anomalous effects of the object will activate. Up to 24 hours after time of posting (regardless of stamp value used), the posted item will arrive at its destination, however the original letter posted will not be found inside the envelope, instead replaced with an instance of SCP-521-X.
 
SCP-521-X appear to be letters written during periods of conflict, often addressed from combatants to family members or friends. Comparison of historical records places the bulk of SCP-521-X items as occurring during World Wars 1 and 2. 
 
A current theory suggests the items retrieved during testing are letters originally undelivered. Foundation researchers are currently attempting to trace possible relatives of the writers to verify this hypothesis.
