Wonderful! Thank you so much for this. I hope enough people use it, even though I cant think of a reason for using it myself for the moment.

Subject: L-Mail to send print, braille and audio letters through the post
Apologies for cross-posting but thought this would be of interest and wondered if anyone has already used this service and has any feedback?
http://www.l-mail.com <https://portal.ioe.ac.uk/http/www.l-mail.com>
Send your letter online.
The cycle of sending a letter<https://portal.ioe.ac.uk/http/www.l-mail.com/images/2.jpg>
L-mail lets individuals and businesses send letters to any postal address via the Internet. We print and post letters from 31 worldwide locations and even lick the stamps for you!
There is an example of an audio-letter - I expected it to be text-to-speech but it is a real human being! http://www.qiq.cc/lmail/talking_letter.mp3 <https://portal.ioe.ac.uk/http/www.qiq.cc/lmail/talking_letter.mp3>
This info is from the l-mail website:
Letter Destination: United Kingdom, Paying by credit card: £0.67, (Paying by debit card: £1.09)
Sending a single, one-off letter carries a £3.00 surcharge. This surcharge can be avoided by opening an L-Mail account with a minimum deposit of £10.00.
Prices include GST at 10.0% when applicable and cover a maximum of three pages per letter.
An additional £0.07 (excluding GST, when applicable) can be paid for the removal of the L-Mail logo from correspondence.
I particularly like this one :-)
Additional items such as chocolates can be sent with letters in some instances. These are priced depending upon the printing location for the letter.
There must be a facility for large print options as one of the "testimonials" on the website mentions it - I think you must have to request it at the time. You get a max of 3 sheets for standard font so I guess one would have to ask if this is increased for large print.
Best wishes,
Liz
