A Florida-based service turns typed messages into handwritten letters, then mails them through USPS with a photograph of the finished page.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The service prices letters by character count: up to 240 characters costs $9 domestically, while 701–1,400 characters costs $26. The page describes a human copying each message onto 24 lb writing stock, photographing it before sealing, and walking it to a Florida USPS collection box. Capacity is deliberately limited to forty letters per week, with the extract showing seventeen places remaining; a $12 queue upgrade is offered for next-pickup handling.
