Poll question: When is the last time you wrote and mailed a letter?
Cards don't count for this poll.

1. I like to write letters. And it seems that the recipents enjoy getting them.
Maybe I am just old-fashioned, but there is something different about sitting down to write a letter instead of emails. But I also have lots of older relatives across the country who don't have a computer.

2. Today!
I wrote a letter to insert into a thank you card to the CEO regarding the job interview I had yesterday.

I thanked him, briefly explained why I was removing myself from candidacy and wished him luck.

I hope there's a qualified person out there for whom this is the right opportunity. But it wasn't the right opportunity for me.

I hope he gets the letter before he calls me for a second interview, IF he does. I really wonder if he will. To me, it was clear that we were never going to develop the kind of professional chemistry we would need to work so closely together.

3. My dear Pryderi...
I wrote a little one yesterday, for a young boy who is very ill, and who wants to receive one million cards before he dies.

I think it qualifies as a letter, anyway.

It's been a long time since I did anything like that.

:hi:
