Letterfu.com - A New Approach To Snail Mail

It is quite peculiar how something that can easily succeed an older practice might actually give it a new lease of life. The Letterfu website is a case in point.

Basically, Letterfu is an online service that makes for writing letters and sending them via standard mail procedures – but dispensing with envelopes, cutting or glue.



This system is implemented as follows. First, you choose a letterfu design from the many on offer and print it out into a sheet of paper. Then, you write the letter itself on the reverse. After adding the address, you fold the letter using the instructions included on the letterfu design and then stamp it and drop in the nearest letterbox.

The advantages and reasons for picking out a letterfu folding letter are evident. They are easy to print, come with lively and attractive designs, and they are as light as they come. This makes them ideal for international mail. Also (as the site correctly points out), a letter is much more poignant and personal than any electronic from of communication. As such, it is the best way for getting in touch with someone you haven’t spoken to in while.
