In this day and age, if sent to the same place, which is more likely to be read first, a letter,or an email?

Question

My cousin, is the head of a manhattan law firm, rents one floor. I emailed him the other day, but I am thinking a letter might be more effective. The matter concerns family, and is urgent. BTW,I havent seen him in 15 years.

I cant thank you enough, for all your help. You are all top contributors, to me!

Answer 1

Speaking from personal experience, I check my email first thing every morning. Meanwhile, my snail mail piles up, and I only go through it every once in awhile because most everything I do is taken care of online.

However, since this seems to be an urgent family matter (which often times needs to be documented), you may want to send a certified, registered, return receipt requested piece of mail to him. Somebody will have to sign for receiving it and then it is likely to be delivered right away.

Best Wishes.

Answer 2

Depends on the type of guy he is & since you haven't seen him in such a long time, I'd send him a letter. Send it Certified. The extra cost might be worth it so it doesn't get shuffled under the paperwork on his or his secretarys desk. If you deceide to send it Certified, there is a place where you can check a box requesting a signature return. Then you know for sure he got your letter. Considering it is an urgent family matter, that is what I'd do. Good Luck!! :)

Answer 3

Ok. In this case, a letter is definitely better, but if it's urgent, you may want to send it by first class or the lmail that gets there in a day. Normmally, however, an email would be much faster, but shince you haven't seen hhim for 15 years, a letter would be best.

Statueque attractiveness. A Monument to Time and area. A Love That Lasts continually A idea That never adjustments. Stubborness. Solitude Feely bounce ft and muscle mass. all sorts of issues can come from status in a unmarried position for eternity besides the undeniable fact that the only i imagine maximum advantages guy is the courting someone exhibits with the only which makes s/he better than s/he replaced into. That dedication is status in a unmarried position for eternity, too. One only as to brush aside the different paths all round them to locate this.

Answer 5

Definitely a letter. They are uniqe and interesting. I know I often skip by an email to save for later, but if I get a cool-looking letter in the mail, I open it right away!

Answer 6

An email would almost certainly arrive sooner. Which gets checked sooner would depend on the person you're sending the message to. Some people still prefer paper mail and seldom check their email, other people (like me) check their email on a daily basis.

Answer 7

Well, I think an email would be much faster, since it is urgent. But, if you know this person's phone number, that would be probably be the fastest way to get ahold of this person.

Answer 8

Well, in general probably an email. Although, I go to the mailbox as soon as get home, before checking my email.

Answer 9

I think the e-mail would be read first, but i personally would rather to read a letter

Answer 10

i don't know - if he gets bombarded with emails and not so much post, he is more likely to read the letter first. If he gets bombarded with post and not so many emails he is more likely to read the email first. Have you tried phoning him?
