Dear God was a 1996 comedy film distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film was rated PG for language and mild thematic elements and ran for 112 minutes. It was poorly received by critics. It was about a con artist played by Greg Kinnear who worked at a post office and began to answer the letters from people addressed to God.

Tom Turner is a con man, defrauding people from their money with a variety of two-bit hustles. One night he makes the mistake of attempting to hustle some undercover cops, and finds himself in court faced with the dilemma of either going to jail or getting a real job. Choosing to stay out of jail, he gets a job at the post office working in their Dead Letter Office helping to sort Dead Letters (i.e. mail which, for whatever reason, can't be delivered). Some of the mail he recieves can't be delivered because it's addressed to God, and he accidentally answers (sending them money in the process). This starts the ball rolling as more of his co-workers get in on the idea of helping people by answering "God" mail. Written by Afterburner
