During this time year we all tend to reach out to family. We all have those family members that are not connected via email, Facebook, or other means. Sometimes you just need to send an old time letter.
I had just such as occasion with a family member that is busy so she is difficult to catch on the phone. The economy has forced her disconnect her Internet connection. Call me lazy, but I did not look forward to typing a letter, locating an envelope, addressing it, and then digging a stamp out of a drawer. What is the proper amount for postage?
I looked for an online service that would send a postal letter. I ran into several. One was free but it did not look very professional. The others ranged in cost and most you had to sign up for an account.
The most drop-dead simple provider that I could find was SnailMailr.com. You pull up the site and fill in an envelope on the first page with your return and recipient addresses. On the next page you write your letter. You can embed color photographs or other graphics into your letter. You then preview the letter and pay just 99 cents to send it. The other great thing besides the features and low price is that they do not requires any site sign-up. You just use your Amazon log in and your prearranged payment method. Amazon handles your receipt and confirmation of your letter printing and being sent. They typically print and send your letter in 24-hours.
Give it a try. It is a great way to send a nice looking letter this holiday season to your relatives or friends that are off the grid.
