Postal rates
About 20 years ago I hosted two students from Switzerland studying English. They became very dear to me. I have visited them a couple of times and they have visited me many times since. After they completed their studies I asked each of them what magazine they would enjoy receiving as I wanted them to have something in English to read after they returned home.
>For the past 20 years I have been sending the magazine of choice to each of them, but I won’t be able to any more. It would now cost me $10 a month to mail a magazine to Switzerland, and since I am retired on a limited budget I won’t be able to afford it. Also, the mailing cost would be far greater than the cost of the magazine itself.
This is a tremendous loss for many of us who can no longer afford to buy gifts for loved ones abroad because the cost of mailing them now will exceed anything affordable.
Something should be done to prevent this from happening. It’s not right!

The request for "urgent response" is a red flag: What do you think? RG, slayer of gods.
