CompuServe will do this, but first you have to join.  They have a big add in
their "Online Today" magazine with an old wooden cottage by a lake, no roads,
wires, antennas or anything to be seen, with a caption something like "now
you can send e-mail to those who don't have e-mail addresses..."  I'm not
sure if the recipient can send a reply... would YOU want someone to read and
type in personal mail sent to you? ...
