Are you to lazy to hand write letters yourself? There are three easy steps to have a handwritten letter made and sent just for you so you don't have to do it yourself!
1. Type an email message (100 words max) to someone whom you would like to receive a letter in the mail, and include the recipient’s physical mailing address.
2. You may request one custom option to be included with your letter, for example:

• • a doodle
• • a flower petal
• • a spray of perfume / cologne
• •  a lip stick kiss
• • suggest your own
• 3. Send all of this to:snailmailmyemail@gmail.com
  COURTESY NOTE: Only one request per person please.
