Overview
A full-size printed letter delivered in a hand-addressed #10 envelope with a real stamp. Use this format when you want a personal, high-trust mailer that still gives you room for longer copy, pricing details, or a formal proposal. The envelope is handwritten and stamped; the insert is a standard 8.5" × 11" printed sheet.
