Isn’t it nice when you receive cards at Christmas time, your birthday or special holidays? Some people even take the time to write a family letter during the holiday season, updating the rest of the family about all the major events that have occurred over the last year.
What’s unfortunate about this is that the occasions that I’ve listed above are about the only times that Chris or I ever receive cards or letters anymore.
My parents were winter Texans and while I missed them while they were away I always appreciated and looked forward to the weekly letters my mother would write. Sure, they had a set routine so each letter had a similar theme, but there was always some little story that made each letter unique.
I miss those letters.
I’m assuming that you don’t get as many letters as you used to either. Do you miss getting letters?
Well, if you want to give someone the feeling of getting a real letter again, but like the convenience of using your computer you could use the free service provided by http://www.esnailer.com. Just type out a letter, fill out the name and address of the person you are sending the letter to and then submit your finished letter to Esnailer.com.
Esnailer will print out your letter, place it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and mail it off to your friend or relative for you. All free of charge.
Sure, you might be saying to yourself “well I could do that myself”, but honestly, when was the last time that you did?
At least with Esnailer half the work is done by them and it’s free. Have you taken a look at the price of stamps these days? Believe me, this is a bargain!
Give it a try.
This service seems interesting, but I see there are a few bugs they need to work out. I tried to create a letter but the “Send To” address kept defaulting to a city I wasn’t living in. Maybe it was just me and my browser, who knows? But thanks for telling us about this service. Are there numerous ads after you click “send letter?”
