✨ 3 tips for combining it

1. It's a message, a document or a piece of paper. Example: The Letter + The Fish is a bill or a payment.
2. It's brief news: it carries less weight than The Book. Example: The Letter + The Rider is a quick message.
3. What's next to it tells you what the news is about. Example: The Letter + The Tower is official mail or something from a company.
