15 days ago I sent a letter to a former professor of mine in California. I live in Michigan. Since I used an outdated directory, I got delivery confirmation to see if the letter arrived. I sent it Priority Mail, and it was supposed to arrive in 2-3 days, but there is still no word on the letter. I have since discovered that the address was wrong and that I didn't address the letter to his legal name. Even so, I didn't get the letter back. I don't want to look like a psychostalker and keep sending stuff, but I have a feeling the first one is never going to get there. Given the address issues and the time that's passed, what are the chances that it arrived? Should I send someting to the current address?

Oh, and also I tried his old e-mail and got no response. If I send something else, it is attempt #3.

Why don't you track it with the tracking number?

Call your local post office and give them your tracking number for that and its OK for you to resend the letter to the new address. Things happens and most of the time the mails goes to wrong address by the mail-mans too. You are and you don't look like psycho stalker. It just tells that you are a caring person.

I am a simple boy so I have a simple answer.
Send the letter again to the new address. Add an little note, saying.
"You may already have this letter, because I sent it to your old address. But to make sure you get it, I thought it won't do any harm to send it again."
PS: you don't sound like a psychostalker, but a very cute one, so it balances out.

You can't realistically complain to the Post Office -- eventually you'll get your letter back -- since you gave them a wrong address. Just noticed that "current address". By all means resend it there, but spend 39 cents on it.

I would why not? Send to the current address. Or can you contact the school he work(ed) or send it in care of that school & they'd forward to him? Also, what does the P O say ? You paid them for the service?
Plus, mine took a couple of weeks once too. They send him a slip to pick it up at the po, & if he hasn't yet it's still waiting for him probably.
