Tips for your first letter 💯
General guidance only — mail rules vary by facility.
Keep it friendly and simple
Introduce yourself, mention something from their profile, and ask a question or two so they have something to answer.
What to include
Your name and return address are usually needed for a reply. A short page or two is plenty for a first letter.
Photos, cards and extras
Many facilities restrict what can be mailed in — like photos, cards, stickers or certain paper. Check the facility's rules before adding anything extra.
Protect yourself
Don't share financial details or send money. Take your time getting to know someone.
Be patient
Mail is screened and delivery can be slow. Don't read too much into a delay.
