Top Tip: Click here to run a free scan for common PC errors

While the internet has revolutionized communication means, there are still areas in which snail mail prevails. To communicate with people in these areas, where internet facilities are not available or the recipients are not internet-literate, important documents have to be posted. Of course to post a letter, a sender needs to write/type one down, enclose in an envelope, and visit the post office or drop it in a mailbox. For senders who are used to communicating to and fro via the internet, this mode of delivering messages can be quite inconvenient. So what if you were able to post letters online? And that too for free!

The Mail Monster brings internet users an invaluable service.

On this website, users can send letter online. The letters written are sent from the internet to the recipient’s postal mailbox. Within 24 hours of us filling in the required information on their webpage, Mail Monster creates, prints, and envelopes our letters for us while all we have to do is fill. The sender can even choose from a variety of letter themes available, and then preview the letter before sending it.

Mail Monster places great importance on security and ensures the user that the contents of the letters are never read by people other than the recipient because the printing and enveloping process is done by computers.

At the moment this amazing service is free for sending letter to Australia whilst to other countries, the applicable letter charges are approximately 1 US Dollar.

Considering that sending letters by the post, physically, is never free so how can an online service be completely free? Or almost free.

The answer is simple. Mail Monster is a business that has other business partners; when you send a letter to a specific location, Mail Monster contacts one of the business partners nearby that particular region and slips in an advertisement with your letter. The recipient is handed your prepared letter along with the advertisement. No need to worry though. The advertisement is a onetime occurrence only and the recipient’s address is not bombarded with junk mail.

Mail Monster has done a great job in bridging the gap between internet users and those who do not use computers. Their project is definitely laudable.

    Wow, someone else is finally offering a service that CompuServe offered more than 20 years ago. The free, or almost free, is nice addition, however.
