Dear everyone,

What happened to snail mail? To the simpler times when you were 8-years-old and would get absolutely overjoyed by the fact that someone (a relative, most likely) sent you mail? Or, having a pen-pal from a different class, state or even country that you would write to? It doesn't really exist anymore, and I'm going to be completely honest, I'm more than a little sad that snail mail is not a thing anymore.

I'm writing this to serve as a wake up call to anyone interested. Let's get cracking on the typing and writing, and stuff those envelopes. Sending out little notes of endearment has the power to make a person's day, all at the ripe cost of 47 cents. Make someone's day by sending them some mail the traditional way.

Maybe use this rebirth as an opportunity to strengthen your relationships with your friends and family. Maybe letter writing will be the new cathartic habit you were looking to find. Maybe you just like reading something that someone intentionally thought out and took the time and effort to personally send to you (not via a cellphone).

So, human population, do you think we could bring back the gift of giving letters? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

(And yes, I did make this article in the format of a letter to be ironic.)
