In a world consumed by text messaging, email and to-the-point
telephone calls, receiving a card or letter in the mail is a heartfelt
tradition that never goes out of style. A recent survey conducted by the
U.S. Postal Service revealed that 94 percent of moms find a handwritten
card delivered by mail more meaningful than emails or small gifts for
Mother’s Day.

“Mothers deserve the perfect handwritten card or letter — especially
on Mother’s Day and as the survey confirms, moms everywhere value
personalized mail to mark this very special day,” said Susan McGowan,
Executive Director, Stamp Services and Corporate Licensing. “I encourage
all of us to give the special mother or grandmother in our lives a
tangible treasure that can be cherished for years to come: a handwritten
card or letter.”

McGowan urges consumers to finish their letter with the loving touch of the Sealed with Love
stamp.  Now in its 40th year of the series, the current Love stamp is
designed by graphic artist Louise Fili of New York City and art director
Derry Noyes of Washington, DC. It features a modern take on romance of a
bygone era with wax-sealed love letters. Depicting an envelope fastened
with an elegant wax seal, the Sealed with Love Forever Stamp encourages
Americans to scribe their own love letters — a romantic gesture that
never goes out of style.
