Once you are online, go to the post office or mailbox area. Once there, you should be able to find a compose mail icon, button, or menu item. 3. Click on what you've found. You should find a window for writing and sending your letter. 4. At the top, type in the address of the person you are writing to. HINT: You need to have an e-mail address for someone in order to send an e-mail. An e-mail address looks like this: [email protected] 5. Type a subject in the subject line. Then go down to the letter writing area and write your letter. 6. When finished with your letter, hit the send button and send it. DO NOT open, or save attachments that strangers send you. Unfortunately some people want access to your computer or think it is cool to destroy your files with a computer virus. Sometimes people do not know they are sending one, so you should always have a virus check program on your computer. If possible have someone show you how to use it. |
