Posting A Letter?

Hi, it has been a long time since I last posted. It seems no one else would like to post his or her blog here. If you would like to become a member of the Class Blogger Team, please drop me an e-mail or tag your e-mail address and name on the Tag Board.

Anyway, today, I went to the post office to post a letter. I wanted to buy a postage label from the self-service SAM machine but I forgot how much was the postage for a standard mail. I tried searching for the postage rate at the SAM machine and around the post office but I could not find any information on how much I was supposed to pay! The only postage rate displayed was the non-standard postage rate for those odd-size packages. I remembered the postage rate for local mail was raised last month. I did not want to make a guess for the postage, so I went to queue up at the counter to buy some stamps. I requested for the NVI (Non-Value Indicator) stamps as these stamps do not show the value of each stamp. So, even if the postal agency raised the postage rate again, I could still use those stamps.

Finally, for your information, the postage fee for a standard mail is twenty-five cents (but cannot be more than 20g) currently.
