A '''letter''' is a way to communicate in the ''{{SER}}'' series. [[Player]]s have the ability to write, send and receive letters from [[villagers]] and friends.

To send a letter, the player must first obtain some [[stationery]], which is sold in packs of four at [[Tom Nook's store]] (or [[Timmy and Tommy's store]] in {{NL}}) for 160 [[Bell]]s. After the [[stationery]] is obtained and then selected in the player's inventory, the player must then choose the 'Write Letter' option. After the player has selected the recipient, the letter may now be composed. In {{PG}}, {{CF}} and {{NL}}, each letter has six lines to write on, whereas a letter in {{WW}} has only four. The lines containing the writer's name and the receiver's name can also be edited, but the recipient's name cannot be removed.

Once the letter has been written, the player is then given a complete view of the letter to allow for proofreading. Once accepted, the letter then appears in the mail section of the player's inventory. From there, it can be re-addressed, deleted, re-written or have a gift attached to it. All items except [[fish]], [[insect|bugs]] and [[turnip]]s can be sent as a gift.

Once the player is satisfied with the letter, it must then be taken to the [[Post Office]] ({{PG}} and {{NL}}) or the [[town hall]] ({{WW}} and {{CF}}) to be sent for delivery. In {{PG}}, when all five letters are sent in one go (the max that the post office can hold at one time), [[Pete]] the mailman can be seen flying into the air when the player leaves the building. After he has flown off, the post office is empty, and the player can again send a maximum of five letters.

*The player's future self at a given date and time (starting with {{WW}}). The player may send only one future letter per day.
Pete, the Post Office, and purchasable stationery do not appear in {{NH|short|nolink}}; instead, [[Orville]] allows the player to get a letter from the [[airport]] card stand and immediately send it to a chosen recipient without first storing it in the player's inventory. The delivery fee is 200 Bells. The card stand letters have varying designs much like the stationery of previous games, and some are cycled in and out per season; these display the date after which the design will no longer be available. The player is limited to sending a maximum of 100 letters to villagers and 40 to other human residents in a single day, after which Orville mentions that he is getting overwhelmed, and will not accept any more until the following day.
+
*Villagers of the player's town, and, in {{WW}}, {{CF}} and {{NL}}, villagers on another player's friend roster.

*Other players living in the town and, in ''Wild World'', ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf'', players on the friend roster.

Depending on how many lines players write a neighbor, they can give them different items in return. For example, if players give them a piece of fruit and write them a one line long letter, they will give the player a piece of fruit back. This can be any type of fruit.

===In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
 
The [[smashwiki:Smash invitation|''Super Smash Bros.'' invitation]] was originally a nod to the {{SER}} and is present in [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]]'s and [[Isabelle]]'s trailer. As such, the invitation's design bears a heavy resemblance to the letter icons of the ''Animal Crossing'' games.
