How Do I Get a Pen Pal?

In our fast moving technologically savvy society, sometimes it's nicer to get a handwritten email delivered by hand in an envelope with a stamp on it than it is to get a quickly written and sent email or personal message on a social-networking site. There is something special about a handwritten letter, especially because the sender spent time writing it, addressing it and taking it to the post office or mailbox to get mailed. It is easy to find a pen pal, you just need to know where to look for one.
