well with the email and all, i think that sending letters is dying. I think it was 10 years ago was the last time i send a letter. i know that companies still send their bills thru the mail but its also dying because of sending it via email. i think i have never seen us having received a personal letter from anyone. i think in just a few years, sending letters will be extinct.

Agreed! The last time I received a letter was 2 years ago, on Valentine's day. :D It was quite a surprise. So for this purpose I think it's still a good choice, and it seemed that the fact, somebody sends you this via the post, makes it somehow more valuable. :)

I use regular snailmail from time to time, but pretty rarely, just a few times a year or something like that. So I am sure you are right, it will even be more uncommon in the future...

Sadly it seems to be. I'd rather get a letter instead of an email. That reminds me I have a letter I need to write. I like getting mail but I wish they'd lower the price of the stamp instead of raising it.

well i think this one of the reason that it is dying because it has a price. An email is free and fast.

There are still a lot of people here in our country who use postal services. I must admit its dying but there are some people who appreciates it more when they receive letters from loved ones. My father is working in the post office and he also hates to admit that postal services is dying.

That is very rare nowadays because of the emails and other electronic communication media but still not dying because most of the important documents and papers needed to be mailed manually.
