Starts at US$9.95 - for one letter, up to a certain length. @epicantus, I checked out the site because I want to use such a service. Looking at similar services, may I suggest:
1. Pricing: give us a clear link to it, because much of why we'll pick one service over another is the pricing.
2. Your power will be in bulk pricing, postage cost-saving strategies, etc. - anything you can do to get your costs down.
When you become reasonable in prices, this will be great for startups. many of us are self-funded. A little perspective for you: RiteTag runs on 3 servers, the smallest of which is for our own tinyURL links. It costs us roughly $5 (yes, five) per month. Startups pay for tons of services, but to pay $9.95 (or more) to send a personal, handwritten note to one of 27,000 users...? That'd be a tough sell.

Lettrs also does it..... part of me really likes these apps but part of me also says 'what's really so hard about going to a card shop or printing your own photo from a printing app, putting a stamp on and writing a few words yourself? I go through phases of doing that and it's not so demanding... it feels a lot more personal too. Do however confess to using Touchnote to send off quick and reasonably regular postcards to far away relatives and friends. As long as we stay in touch one way or the other right?

This is cool. Simple, yet smart solution! I saw a similar solution this summer at a demo day in CHI https://www.fountaingreetings.com. They were more Biz focused than consumer.
@lekanb yes, but again, they bury their pricing, and when you find it $7. With tiny margins on our own sales, if I was to send customers hand-written cards, and could do it myself for under $2 vs $7 from FounderGreetings vs. $9.95 (and up) from Handiemail, on my planet, I'm going to write until my hand cramps, take a break, and write the rest myself.
Pretty pricey. "$9.95 (U.S.) or $10.95 (Int'l)" and your letter has to be under 230 words to fit these price points. I guess that you are paying for the convenience of getting this entire process done but I'd much rather do the writing and mailing myself. Only $0.49 for first class. Great idea though.
A bulk price estimator and API would be key. Even though you're getting more words (230) than MailLift, at $9.95 for one letter, the price point seems to be off.
