What's stopping you from just... sending a letter or a postcard? Benefits:

1. It comes from your heart.

2. You don't leak PII to internet randos.

3. It shows you put some thought into it.

4. Writing letters is fun, and the post office needs all the help and support it can get. While you're at it, why don't you give THOSE folks some praise, too?

5. A personalized letter doesn't look like something official and frightening. Seriously, you're underestimating how many people this is going to unnecessarily scare, at a time when our institutions are failing more and more.

Maybe we don't need to automate away every last bit of being human.
