communication must be clear, as the person listening may not be able to understand the person
talking due to language and dialect differences or by mumbled speech

The text on the email must be clear so that the reader can easily understand what it is
telling them

They may be hard to get
hold of and can also get damaged by water and short-circuit
...

...
The letter can contain a lot of detailed information and it still widely used
...
Not to mention the post may get sent
to the wrong location
...
Typing the letter on a computer is the best
approach for sending letters, as the reader may not be able to understand the writing on a hand
written letter
