As part of a series on the U.S. Postal Service airing later this month, NPR is collecting images of the best thing that ever arrived in your mailbox. Did you receive something in the mail that you keep close to your heart — a love letter, a postcard from abroad, a note from a dear relative, a reply to fan mail, a care package, via USPS?

Please share scans or photos of your postcard (front and back), letter and envelope (if you have it), or package and tell us the story behind it. We will select some to accompany our Postal Service series and feature them on NPR.org.

How To Submit
Go to Flickr. Upload your photos, tagged NPRpostal. If you are a brand new Flickr user — or if you prefer not tagging your photo — please leave us the link in the comments section below.
