Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mothers Day. “Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‘time’ in another way，” said Zheng Zhimin，manager at a “future mail” company. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters help remind us of care，friendship and love. While “future mail” is becoming more and more popular，some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive. Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract (签订合同) to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged. Most of the customers are college students and young white--collar (白领) workers. Psychologists (心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection (联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter. 1．“Future mail” is a/an ________ way to send your letter.
