So we come across some interesting stories, news articles and blogs about Letters and Letter Writing from time to time, and we thought it’d be good to share them here. Please feel free to blog or Tweet about them (and us!) as you see fit.

Here’s a story about a Love Letter being found in a bottle on a beach, with a locket of hair in it. It tells of a forlorn French woman who is coming to terms with her lover ending the relationship and returning to his wife. Here is a quick excerpt from the Love Letter:

”These magic moments are pure secret. The secret of life and pleasure without limits. In twenty years, it will still be here, the previous moments of happiness, when life will get dreary, we will be able to tap into these memories to remember what it is to live again.”

Here’s a Blog about the Love Letter story


On the topic of Love Letters, Here’s a Love Letter to an inanimate object, the Golden Gate Bridge…..and a quick excerpt:

” Thank you for your fast track lanes and charming gift shop. Thank you for your film and television appearances and your prominence in Sleep Train and Lexus commercials. Thank you, old friend, for the reassurance that when I hear a bridge breaks, I know it’s not you.”

No compilation of Love Letters would be complete without Bono’s (from U2) Love Letter to America.  Excerpt:

“I don’t speak for the rest of the world. Sometimes I think I do — but as my bandmates will quickly (and loudly) point out, I don’t even speak for one small group of four musicians. But I will venture to say that in the farthest corners of the globe, the president’s words are more than a pop song people want to hear on the radio. They are lifelines.”

And finally, here’s a Love Letter mail during World War II, that finally was delivered….64 years later.  A quick excerpt:

‘Don’t get the idea I am hors de combat with an American nurse holding my hand!’

So perhaps it’s time for each of us to get busy writing that next Love Letter that will make headlines.

So the price of US stamps has gone up again, this increase is 2 cents per stamp.  Here’s an article reporting the 2 cent increase.  And Here’s the History of US Stamp prices.  This means that instead of paying 42 cents for a stamp, we’re now paying 44 cents to mail a letter to your loved ones, friends, family or business colleagues. You’ll also recall stamp prices going up 1 cent in May of last year as well (see our blog on that previous 1 cent increase).


It’s not too hard to get someone to give you their 2 cents on things. Here are a number of sites where people freely offer up their 2 cents on a variety of topics ranging from life, politics, media, information, marketing, food, dolls, books, race cars, public relations, and just about anything else.


My 2 Cents – musings on marketing, media, public relations….and life.

2 Cents Worth – Teaching & learning in the new information landscape.

2 Cents for Change – Give your 2 cents, get back change.

My 2 Cents – Flex programming made easy.


If you are interested in our 2 cents, here you go.  iwiLetter.com has NOT increased the cost of sending a letter so this means you save 2 cents every time you send a letter using iwiLetter!  Why not save those pennies and send your next letter via iwiLetter.com.  After all, a penny saved, can be a penny earned!


And that’s our 2 cents on this!

So Mother’s Day is coming up just under a week from now. We know you already have the flowers ordered and taken care of, and maybe even a nice dinner plan for Mom. But why not put into words the Love you feel for Mom
this Mother’s Day.

Visit iwiLetter.com and Write Mom a letter and let her know you are thankful for the 9 months and labor pains she endured for you. Let her know you’ve always appreciated the love and guidance she’s shown you all these years, and how fondly you look back at all the memories of growing up. Let her know how pretty she is, and how good her cooking has always been, and how thankful you are that she is your Mother.

While you’re at it, maybe let her know you wish you could take back some of those things you did in Jr. High and High-school, and those late nights she waited up all night for you to come home. Now may also be a good time to let her know you were the one that broke her prized vase, she’s known all these years that the cat never broke it. Perhaps now would be a good time to explain how the car mysteriously was damaged “while sitting in the garage” and those strange “wrong number” calls from the Police way back when. Heck, go ahead and let her know your own kids and now exacting revenge on you for all that you put your Mother through for so many years.

Mother’s Day, a time to let her know you Love her, and try to figure out why she still loves you.

Send a Letter to Mom Now!

Moms, maybe if you send a little hint to your son, daughter, hubby, or someone else, you might receive a nice letter from them this Mother’s Day!

Have a Great Mother’s Day, we Love You Moms!

Fellas,

Valentine’s Day is coming up just over a week, and we all know that for many of you, this is the first thought you’ve given to the “Big Day”.  Of course you’re going to scramble to squeak in that last minute reservation at the new hip place in town.  Of course she won’t notice that the 10pm reservation was the very last one, and only one, they had available.  She’ll also probably think the “table for two” out by the valet was their most requested and hard to get table.

Dinner, in a word, is “covered”.  “Done”, “taken care of”, “whadoyoumeanIhaventthoughtaboutValentinesyet?”, “I got it under control”.  Nice work!

However, why not go all out, and get all romantic this year.  Why not send her a letter that shows her you’ve been thinking of her.  Let her know she is the Apple of your Eye, the Jewel of your Crown, the One for You! Yeah, a Love Letter sounds great!  But let us guess, you are no Danielle Steele when it comes to wordsmithing.

Dont’ worry, we’ve got you covered.  iwiLetter.com provides you with many Sample Love Letters that you can choose from.  Pick the one that seems the closest to what you are trying to say to her, then edit it to make it your own.  Or, well, just send it like it is.  Let her know that your heart is her’s, and you hope for her heart to be your’s.  Let her know that your life was like a dark night before, with only a few distant stars to light it, but that she came as a blazing comet and lit it up, rising over the horizon and streaking through.

Write your Sweatheart a Love Letter today!

Send her a Love Letter this Valentine’s Day.  Let her know you care.  Let iwiLetter.com help, let our Sample Love Letters be the prose that guides your pen….and your evening

iwiLetter.com – send real Love Letters, write online

iwiLetter.com encourages you to send “snail mail” to your friends, family, and business colleagues.  Really, it’s real physical snail mail, mail sent by actual snails!  Boredom Research has created “RealSnailMail” http://www.boredomresearch.net/rsm/index.html, a service (ok, maybe “experiment” is a more accurate word than “service”) where little snails are equipped with a tiny electronic cicruit and antenna that receives messages.  Users type a message right from their computer, that message is transmitted to one of several different snails, and then the waiting begins.  Then the waiting continues, and continues.  The waiting lasts until the snail finds it’s way across it’s living space to a “drop off” dispatch center receiver where the message is then electronically retrieved and sent along it’s way to the recipients email inbox. 

What a novel concept, snail mail moving at a snail’s pace!  You see, iwiLetter.com is not the only one out there using technology to make snail mail a reality for all of us in this increasingly fast paced and technical world.
