You might even consider putting big numbers on the mailings; the first is "#1" and says: "Watch for message #2 coming soon" (but not too soon!). -mr Transportation Office wrote: > Each postcard has a different message while staying consistent to the > "Relax: there is more than one way to get here" theme.
