All you do is write back and forth to each other about life, family, etc. I had one when I was in 3rd grade and it was kind of exciting to receive mail.

Answer 8

It is very much like the hate mail we send each other, but we don't include personal details nor do we admit we know each other publically.

Usually, this ends very badly and sometimes in divorce.
