Queen Elizabeth has penned a letter that will be read 63 years from now, as per the media.

The late queen gave the Lord Mayor of Sydney the following instructions when on a state visit in November 1986: “Greetings. On a suitable day to be selected by you in the year 2085 A.D., would you please open this envelope and convey to the citizens of Sydney my message to them.” It’s signed “Elizabeth R.”

The crypt of the Queen Victoria Building, which was opened in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee, has housed the sealed letter for almost 36 years.

No one, not even the Queen’s personal staff, is aware of the contents of the intriguing note, according to a media source, which “sits inside a glass case in a restricted area.”

The Australian news agency added, “Elizabeth, who became Queen in 1952, visited Australia 16 times – the first time just two years after she was crowned. She was only 27 – and the first reigning monarch to visit Australia. It was estimated that about one million people turned out to see her in Sydney.”
