**手紙** – *tegami*. Specifically refers to **physical letters** that you can send to your favorite *seiyuu* via their agency (mail it to an address with a prescribed format, usually the department and the *seiyuu* name) or through present boxes during events. This does not apply to mails sent for programs (see [mēru](https://whimsicaltranslations.wordpress.com/seiyuu-subculture-term-glossary/#mail)[link]).

As one would expect, *seiyuu* can’t personally respond to letters but it is openly appreciated, some going as far as encouraging fans to send email to programs they host or appear as guests in so they can respond to it directly.
