Writing letters online

[John Greham]

www.L-Mail.com, a new system that allows users to send physical
letters via a web site, will often be cheaper and quicker for
international mail than traditional post.

L-Mail.com, to be officially launched on 28 September, will be
offering consumers and businesses the ability to send postal letters
via any Internet enabled computer through a simple web based
interface.

Users of the service will simply type and format their letter in a
browser, click submit before it's printed and put in traditional
postal mail systems from one of an initial 7 locations around the
world.

The developers of L-Mail claim their service will save users time and
money over using traditional post. International letters will
frequently be cheaper through L-Mail than traditional mail. For
example, a three-page letter to the United States will cost 64p fully
inclusive. Postage alone for a 20g letter from the UK to the USA is
68p.

L-Mails can be sent to any address on the planet via the initial seven
printing and posting locations:

Australia - Sydney
Canada - British Columbia
Spain - Madrid
United Kingdom - Edinburgh
United Kingdom - Leicester
United Kingdom - London
United States - Ellensburg (West Coast)
United States - New York (East Coast)

Further locations will be added regularly.

With no need to buy stationary or stamps or trips to the Post Office
L-Mail promises to be a useful tool for busy people everywhere.
