The USMC, the British Forces Post Office and SuperLetter.Com Inc. have teamed up to provide next day mail service to Marines deployed to Camp Fox in Kuwait.

(PRWEB) August, 2003 -- A trial hybrid mail service was launched August 1st by the United States Marine Corp to provide a mail service for Marines serving at (PRWEB) August, 2003 -- Camp Fox in Kuwait. The service is free to all family and friends for sending (and receiving) mail to and from Camp Fox and provided by US coalition allies, the British Forces Post Office and a privately owned US based company, SuperLetter.Com Inc., that has provided this service to British troops for almost 3 years. The President of SuperLetter.Com Inc., Bill Ramsay spent 3 days at Camp Lajeune at the invitation of Major Stephens and Captain Givens working with "Family Support " groups to assist them in teaching others how to use the service. Ramsay expects to visit other bases to provide similar training.

On the first day of the trial approximately a dozen letters were received and delivered to Camp Fox along with a test letter from USMC Major Stephens at Camp Lajeune mailed to Colonel Roberts at Camp Fox. Next Day Delivery half way around the world!

This trial of the highly successful service initiated by the British Forces is being watched carefully by all 5 branches of the US service in the hopes that it can be made available to all Operational US Service Personnel and their family and friends located anywhere in the World.

Over a quarter of a million letters per month were delivered to 40,000 British troops during the height of the conflict and were often being received within hours.
