Prompt #188: "Special Delivery"

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Dear Princess Luna,

First of all, let me tell you how happy everypony here at the postal building is that you are back and well. But unfortunately, there is the small matter of some uncollected mail waiting here for you, so if you could come and get it sometime soon that would be great.

We’ve taken the liberty of tossing out the junk mail as it comes in, but there’s been so much mail for you over the last millenium that we’ve had to build on an additional room just to hold it all. At this point, you have about... 1,137,574 letters here. Now, that may seem like a large number, but not to worry! If you like, you can take those in increments. We’ve actually had a pool going here for some time, wondering how long it would take to read all of those letters. You’ll have to let us know how it goes. (By the way, if you could try to read them in 2,400 to 2,600 hours that would be appreciated.)

Anywho, its no rush, really. And when you’re ready to come in, theres also one more thing to discuss... that being fees incurred for holding your mail here for so long. Now, I know what you must be thinking. That there will be some outrageous price for keeping over one million letters for a thousand years. Well, since you are royalty and all, we’ve reduced the amount by 80%, leaving the total fees outstanding at a mere 3,000,000B. But, not to worry! If you like, you can make the payments in increments.

Again, welcome back and we hope to be hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Ponyville Postal Depot

P.S. Derpy says ‘Hi’.

P.P.S. Seriously, anywhere between 438 and 474 letters an hour.
