More than likely some of you reading this are too young to remember the days before the internet and email came into our lives, but for those of us who had to find other ways to communicate with friends and loved ones before email became so popular letters and phone calls were the main modes of communicating with others who lived far away.
It is nice when you receive a letter in the mail, or a card from someone that’s just writing to say hello, isn’t it?
I think getting a letter or card from someone these days is much more special now than it was 15 or 20 years ago. Do you feel that way too?
If you want to send formal correspondence to your friends and loved ones, but perhaps don’t have quite as much time as you’d like to do this, ESnailer.com has come up with a great way of sending real letters to people.
Just go to the ESnailer.com website and start writing a letter to a friend or loved one. EnSnailer will print your letter, tuck it in an envelope and place a stamp on it and send it off to the recipient via regular US postal mail free of charge.
So it’s just like sending an email but the person that you’ve written to will have the thrill of receiving an actual letter.
I think that it is interesting that people would feel that typing something, having someone unknown print it out, then having someone unknown print the address of your loved one on the envelope and stuff the letter in would seem like a good idea. How much more work would it be to just type it on your computer, print it out, sign it (maybe with a little heart or note or something to personalize the correspondence) stuff it in an envelope and drop it in the mailbox the next time you go? I don’t think I would be especially pleased to get a letter from Esnailer.com, despite the fact that their mascot is adorable. If someone wants to write to me the old fashioned way, I’d prefer they go all the way, and mail it themselves.
