Dear [Insert Title and Name]:
The employees of the [Insert City Name] Post Office™ wish to thank the citizens of [Insert City Name] for their enthusiasm and support in making yesterday’s release of the Flags of Our Nation postage stamps a successful event for our community and for the U.S. Postal Service®.
Writing and sending greetings is a tradition that has preserved our nation’s history and changed lives — particularly in times of war and in times of personal triumph and tragedy. Unlike other communications, written correspondence is timeless, personal and immediately tangible.
Our nation’s commemorative stamp program has been developed over the past 100 years largely through the participation of the American people. Your stamp ideas and suggestions are instrumental in helping the Postal Service™ honor some of the greatest achievements and achievers that have made our country great.
We believe the Flags of Our Nation [Insert State Name] stamp, and the 10 other stamps in this set, represent important steps in our effort to recognize the history and majesty of the great flags of our nation.
Whether by providing universal mail service to everyone, everywhere, every day, or through our responsibilities as a community leader, the Postal Service will continue to work hard to deliver quality communications services across the country and right here in [Insert City Name].
Sincerely,
[Sign]
[Insert Postmaster’s Name]
Postmaster
U.S. Postal Service
