They'd only be working with people that take snail mail seriously.

If you have tax problems, the I.R.S. will not e-mail you. It will not call you. It will not text you. It will not contact you on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Slack, WhatsApp, or any other digital method.

It will contact you via snail mail.

Serious people take snail mail seriously.

This is the point I was trying to make. This survey goes in the bin along with all of the ads sent to me.
