Electronic mail, or
e-mail as it is
more commonly known, is a paperless method of sending letters, notes and
messages from you to someone else or even many people at the same time via
the Internet.
Electronic mail is very fast compared to the
post office. Your messages
usually only take seconds to arrive at their destination.
You can send messages anytime and the message will be available whenever
the other person wants to look at it - even in the middle of the night.
But perhaps the biggest advantage to using e-mail is that
it is cheap, especially when sending messages to other states or countries.
Today, it costs the same to send e-mail to someone around the corner as it
does to send the message to a friend in a foreign country.
