It depends if you are sending 10 a day or 10,000 a week.

I only send handwritten notes. Think about the last time you got a handwritten note and think about how you felt that someone took the time to give you an original message versus the same look that is impersonal.

No. Make copies of the letters, but hand address the envelopes. The goal is to get them to open the envelope. for family and friends, hand writing is appropriate to make it more personal.

I prefer typed, much easier to read and write.

My personal notes are all hand-written.

Important letters to strangers (my Instant Inventory strategy) are hand-written yes!

My monthly mailer produces computer printed envelopes because everyone I mail to knows me and knows I send quality, short pieces, so no on those...not necessary.

When I start a new geographic farm, I start with postcards to get my name familiar before I attempt letters.

Brian,

I make a point of handwriting them.  A

I think hand written is always nice!

Brian England As already mentioned here handwriting the envelopes works.

Family and friends.

They are going to read your letter anyway. Typed or handwritten or in Crayola.

However, hand written is and appears to be, more personal.

That is why Wells Fargo sends me an envelope with handwritten script every week. 

When I send out recognition notes, less that 150 words no more than 5 a day, I hand write the letter and envelope.

Handwritten will usually get opened and doesn't look like junk mail.

It depends, hand written envelopes are looked at mor ethan typed ones. 

No. However, hand written note cards are always appropriate.

When I send out these letters, I usually have too many, and do use labels.

I have terrible handwriting so I prefer to type a letter regardless of who I'm sending it to. But handwritten letters and cards are very special. I suck it up sometimes to do these. 

My letters are typed but the envelope is always hand written.  Note cards are always hand written..

My recipients would probably appreciate it being typed so that they could actually read it.  ;)

Brian England - personal HAND-WRITTEN notes have the biggest return!

Brian Buffini of Buffini & Company says, the one thing that made him the most was personal HAND-WRITTEN notes.

Hand written notes,  Newsletters are typed with graphics and handwritten addresses.  

Hand written!

Depends. 

Everyone loves to receive a handwritten note or even better a letter!  It's so much more personal than typed, especially these days when it is not often done anymore.

This depends on the theme of the letter and purpose

If it was from my mother yes.

I don't send letters to friends and family anymore... everyone just emails back and forth or texts.

I type and try to never hand write anything.  Reason: I can read a doctor's handwritting, they can't read mine.  'Nuff said.

my handwriting is dreadful.  I handwrite cards.  I type letters and put them in a cute font and send them.  

We used to do a quarterly letter, typed, and then handwritten cards. So, both. I just read your small print. Friends and family if you are doing some kind of form letter about your business I think typed is still appropriate but you could add a personalized hand written note to the end or on the back.

I hand write all of my envelopes. 

I hand write them all.  They get noticed quicker!

All of my corrispondance is hand addressed (often by my son or daughter) Brian England . Having my kids doing the addressing on mailings has tax advantages plus it's just better than handing them an allowance.

all go to the trash bin as soon as it reaches the mail box.....

I have joined the majority of Americans not sending letters any more. You do not have an eMail I don't really stay in touch. Find me on wechat, FB.....

To get any snail mail today is special written or otherwise

Handwriiten is a nice touch but my penmanship leaves something to be desired!

Hand written to family.

My handwriting has never been something most people would want to see lol

it depends on themessage
