ABSTRACT
Today as the rapid development of digital technology is turning our society into a paperless one, the traditional letter-writing has been replaced by digital media, such as EMail and Instant Messaging. However, research has shown that there are still rich advantages of physical paper in our daily life, and they are hard to attain in the realm of pure software [Hendrix and Eisenberg 2004]. For paper-based letter communication, Gregory Davis [Davis 2009] mentioned that unlike electronic communication, the letter engages the totality of intellect, the heart, and the senses.
