Thank you very much for taking the time to try and figure this out!

This link opens a Readers Digest and I don't see anything about 500 tons of mail...

You're welcome. But wondering if the reports can be all that wrong about the tons of mail..

 

Each letter weighs about one ounce.  Sixteen letters about one pound. 32,000 weighs one ton.  320,000 letters weigh ten tons.  Then about 1 million letters would weigh about 30 tons.

If one million JW's sent all six letters the total weight would be 180 tons.

How many letters were actually sent? If only 1/2 of all dedicated JW's sent all six letters then that would weigh about 720 tons.  That number is larger than the hoax.

The numbers could work. I figure each letter is actually .5 oz, so it would take 32 million letters to make 500 tons, it could happen. However, there isn't evidence that news report is about the current letter campaign.

Yeah, our letter were about 15 grams (metric system FTW)
