What's in your letterbox?

It's great to receive a birthday card or a Christmas card from someone who lives interstate or overseas.

Postcards are short letters. They usually don't need envelopes. People often send a postcard when they are away on holiday.

Parcels are larger and heavier than letters. Receiving a parcel in the mail is really exciting. If you are sending a parcel, pack it carefully.

Writing letters and receiving them in the mail is loads of fun.

Bills are often in an envelope that has a window. This makes it easy for businesses to print and mail their bills.
