Choose what belongs in a mailed letter

Make the letter personal while considering that physical mail may pass through other hands.

Try this

  1. Confirm the address and whether mail is welcome. Decide which details you would be comfortable putting in an envelope that could be misplaced.
  2. Use a separate private channel for time-sensitive plans or information the recipient should not receive through mail.

A worked example

“I’d like to send a short letter about our last visit. Is the address you gave me still a comfortable place to receive it?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Do not expect an immediate reply or matching letter. If the contents need correction before delivery, send a clear update through the usual channel.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
