This is like walking down a memory lane.
Can anyone remember this? Many younger generations may not even know this existed in the first place. I bought this, I believe, in the 1970s or perhaps the early 1980s, but somehow forgot to use it. It's still in good condition, but unfortunately it has been folded.
In those days, this was the cheapest way of sending letters overseas. This is the pre Internet era, of course. This prepaid letter/envelope is limited to what you can write on it, and this is also all depending on how large your writings are. The smaller there are, the more you can fit your message into this letter. If you are one of those who loves writing War & Peace, then you may have a problem here.
Given the restriction on this type of postage product, has anyone inserted separate sheets into this? Technically, you are not allowed to, but I am sure, many 'Einsteins' would have tried this (not me). I can't remember if it was me who received one or someone who received one that a separate piece of paper was inserted into the mail as it was running out of space to write. Talk about getting it off your chest!! The other disadvantage is that you can't have photos inserted into such letters either.
