Sending letters

To send a letter, the player must previously buy Letter Paper at Nook Stores or Tendo and Nendo Store for 160 Berries. Each day one or more different letter papers will appear in the store (depending on the reform). It is also possible to find them in the Police Station (Game Cube and New Leaf) or in Lost and found in DS and Wii talking to Nocencio and even in the Recycling Container. Once you have it, you select it and then choose the option "Write Letter". After this, a list of possible recipients will appear and the player must select one of them to continue. The available receivers are:

Your neighbors.
Players in your House or in your Town (if there is more than one you can send a letter to another).
Your future me
If you are visiting another Town, you can send a letter to a neighbor or resident for the duration of your stay (If you write it and do not send it in that Town, Sol or Estrella will tell you that they cannot accept this email).

Once the recipient has been selected, the letter can now be written. In Animal Crossing (GameCube) and Animal Crossing: City Folk / Let's go to the city, each letter has six lines to write, while a letter in Wild World only has four. Lines containing the name of the author and the name of the recipient can also be edited, but the recipient's name cannot be removed.

Once the card has been written, the player is given a complete view of the card to allow correction in case something goes wrong. Once accepted, the letter will appear

Letter to a neighbor (in this case it is for Gladis)

in the mail section of the Player's inventory in an unopened blue letter icon. From there, it can be deleted, rewritten (it will continue to be displayed unopened), or a gift can be included. All items, with the exception of Fish, Bugs and / or Turnips.

Once the player is satisfied with their letter, it must then be taken to the post office (Animal Crossing (GameCube) and Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)) or to the Town Hall to the post office section, to be sent for delivery. In Animal Crossing (GameCube), at least five cards are sent out in one go. In Wild World and City Folk you can send from 1 to 10 cards at once (since 10 is the maximum capacity of your deck of cards). Carturo, the pelican can be seen flying in the air when the player leaves the building.

Letters are the only way to communicate, besides talking about Animal Crossing, most animals love to receive letters, along with gifts and if you don't send them letters they may ask you to do so.

The Player has letters in the mailbox ...

In your mailbox

Your mailbox will have a blue lever that will emit light when there is a letter inside it. There are several types of letters that you can receive:

From the AAD, they go on to rate your home.
From your mom. They could come with a different fruit than the one you have! In the new year there will always be one with 10.000 berries.
From your Neighbors: These can be sent for 7 reasons: In gratitude for having welcomed them into your House, when responding to a letter you have sent them, because they give you the invitation to the Ladino store (only in ACLGTTC), because it is the Valentine's Day (only neighbors of the opposite sex to yours and only in ACLGTTC), because they move, because they invite you to their birthday, because you have cared for them while they were sick (giving them medicine) or because they have a lot of friendship with you (only Animal Crossing: New Leaf)
Someone who has come to your town and during that stay has sent you a letter.
From the cats Cati and Catiana in gratitude for having found them again (in Animal Crossing: New Leaf only Cati, since now she travels alone and asks you to take her to another town).
From Copito in gratitude for having trained it correctly.
From Ladino, where he tells you what day of the week comes next and the password to enter the store (only in ACWW and only if you are his partner).
From Tom Nook when you asked him for something from the catalog.
From Graciela, where she sends you the test results and an item of clothing. (Less in Animal Crossing: New Leaf)
From the bank, where they can tell you your interests, the berries you have or give you a gift for investing certain berries in the bank.
From Sisebuto (only if you have taken out their insurance) where they send you a certain amount of berries depends on what happened to you (robbery, fall, bee sting ...).
From the Town Hall, where they say "flattery", they give you a trophy (if you win a tournament) or they give you berries for your service to the community.
From Gulliver, in which he gives you a gift as a thank you for finding him the UFO pieces (or for reminding him where he was going in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, because he's a sailor now).
From the Shooting Star, who will send it to you with an item from the star collection when you make a wish (Animal Crossing: Wild World and LGTTC).
From Soponcio where he tells you to buy candy (only in ACLGTTC).
From Poconá, in gratitude for your donations. If you donate the necessary amounts, they will send them to you with gift pens. The feathers change according to the gifts.
From your dad (ACWW) who will send it to you the same day every year, signed with the name "With affection: Dad". He tells you that your mother is not the only one who writes to you and then says do you know what day it is today? (probably for his birthday)
From Nintendo (DLCs). On Wii. Carturo gives them to you.

The neighbors

A Neighbor showing a card to the Player (it is in English).

Neighbors who begin to trust you, will be able to show you letters that they have been sent, so be careful with what you write, because they may show it to their new Neighbors when they move.

Carturus

Carturo for the town

The letters are not delivered by themselves, they are delivered by a postman named Carturo, and there is a different way of seeing him in each game.

In Animal Crossing (GameCube) it appears taking flight when leaving the post office if you filled the display with letters to send. And he may also fly down in the central plaza to drop cards to the players.
In Animal Crossing: Wild World at 9 in the morning and at 5 in the afternoon you see him flying, and you can talk to him by shooting him with the slingshot.
In Animal Crossing: City Folk / Let's Go To The City you meet him several times these occasions:
- When you leave your house to give you a Nintendo letter signed by Tortimer with a DLC.
- Walking through the town, at 5 in the afternoon, he will only tell you that it is busy or that the letters have the perfume of Sun / Star, or comments like that ...
- In Animal Crossing: New Leaf appears at the same time, on weekdays walking around town.

Letters in a bottle

Main article: Messages in bottles

Player who found a bottled letter in AC: WW

The bottled letters will be mysterious letters that you will find on the shore of the beach.

It can be a card prewritten by the game or one that has been thrown into the sea by someone from whom you have gone to their Town.

To send your letter in a bottle, you must buy it in Tom Nook stores, but you cannot order it from the catalog. When writing the letter, stand near the water and select to throw it into the sea. This letter will preferably reach someone who has come to see you in your town or vice versa. The recipient is therefore random.

It is one of the few things that has been removed in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
