Received a letter today entitled "PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE," ostensibly from one of the major candidates for the 2016 US presidency.
Needless to say, there was nothing "personal" about it. A mass-printed signature, maybe, but otherwise it was maybe a 50-word request by the associated political machine for contributions. Oh, and I should give them all other methods of contact, which (by providing this info) will give my consent to be bothered by calls, texts, emails, robo calls, etc. from this political machine whenever they like.
For all the ill-will and name calling from the current contenders, as well as accusations of being unfit to lead, it also seems that at least one candidate has no idea what "personal correspondence" even is.
This letter is "wolf in sheep's clothing." "Personal" is isn't. "Junk": yes.
At least people on this forum "get" what a personal letter is . . .

Personal Correspondence should be unique. All my letters are different, although some topics/events do get written out more than once although may be worded differently.
This junk mail masquerading as Personal Correspondence could give it a bad name.
Although I do not like junk mail (goes in the paper recycling without opening) without it, I fear Royal Mail would put postage prices up even more to compensate for loss of revenue.

This is an interesting thought. I have recently read that the Italian Post is well in active. It is due to its banking and financing activities and not to snail mail revival, no doubt, but the postage prices increases are hardly explicable to me.
