I gave up on writing letters to my friend in Bali as around 75% of them just never made it to him. I never included cash or anything else in the envelope, just a written letter on paper, or sometimes a greeting card for an event. I even tried leaving them unsealed in hopes of them realising there was no cash and letting it go through, but no luck. I ended up having to switch to postcards to get them through with any real success.
Thankfully my friend finally got a mobile and we SMS now, but when relying on the post it was very frustrating.
