I receive so much email that, I have come to rather enjoy receiving snail mail and the brief reprieve it brings. Receiving a note from a colleague or new acquaintance, makes a note that much more enjoyable. I understand that the task of writing cards is cumbersome (not to mention outdated) and has been largely replaced by emails, Facebook messages and tweets. Sending a hand written note, however, to thank someone for a meeting or offer congratulations for a promotion, communicates volumes of in just a few words.
