Some Tier 3 [[Professions (Guide)|professions]] can send {{E}}12.5 letters that raise two stats at once and give more {{IL|Corresponding...|Appearance=Corresponding}}. Reading an attribute-increasing letter will also give the recipient {{IL|Mired in Mail}}, which eventually starts reducing the effectiveness of each letter. {{IL|Mired in Mail}} is reset each week by {{IL|Time, the Healer}}. This limits how fast you can gain stats this way. This table shows how the gain is affected when the recipient's attribute is 70+ (meaning 70 CP per level): |

| − | + | Two notable profession letters are the {{IL|Correspondent}}'s {{IL|Flame-proof Missive}}, which also increases {{IL|A Scholar of the Correspondence}} and is one of the best ways to do so, and the {{IL|Name Written in Gant}}. Unlike the others, the Name in Gant must have the ''recipient'' be a {{IL|Licentiate}}, but any {{IL|A Person of Some Importance|Appearance=PoSI}} can send this letter to a Licentiate to have them apply their murderous talents to lower the sender's {{IL|Scandal}} and {{IL|Suspicion}}. | |
There are other letters, including ones that give the recipient {{IL|Investigating...}} or {{IL|Inspired...}} CP. Letters that do not increase attributes are unaffected by {{IL|Mired in Mail}}.
