Of all the letters that Santa Claus gets in his mailbox, this one will likely stand out. In a big way.

A Rumford, Maine, man is hoping to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by sending the largest single-page letter ever written.

The letter, which will be a missive to Santa chock full of Christmas wishes, is expected to be 25 feet wide by 100 feet long. That’s bigger than a volleyball court and about half the area of a basketball court. When folded up, it’s expected to weigh 51 pounds. And it will require an estimated 195 first-class stamps to put in the mail.

Scot Grassette, 42, an electrician at the NewPage Corp. paper plant in Rumford, said his company thought it was a “pretty crazy” idea but still donated the paper.

Tony Lyons, a spokesman for the paper plant, said Grassette had been driving home from work one day trying to think of how to raise funds for school groups and activities his daughters are part of.

“I think he suddenly had this big brainstorm,” Lyons said.

Lyons said the mill, which makes paper that is used for catalogues, magazines, and brochures, is already involved in a lot of outreach in the community, and it hoped that the letter project would “help the kids in the community have an understanding of the scope of what we do inside the mill.”

Grassette said the letter will be the centerpiece of a Nov. 29 benefit to raise money for his daughter’s Mountain Valley High School majorette squad and for the senior class’s “chemical-free” graduation party.

During the benefit, the letter will be laid out on the floor of the school gymnasium. Students will write down their names and Christmas wishes and will be able to see “elves” write them on the paper in letters eight to 10 inches high.

Grassette calculated that about 800 names and wishes will fit on the paper. He said he has three rolled-up pieces of the paper. One is for practice, one is for the real thing, and one, he said, “is just in case we mess something up.”
