Most Effective Way to Open a Letter...

Featured Replies

So it can be looked like it hasn't been opened at a glimpse, or resealed or whatever. Yup, that is all I need to know, if you must know why it is for my report card. So I can know what I have before my parents find out they were sent and snatch it from me...

If the letter the report card is sent in is adressed to your parents, then you break the law by opening it... With that being set, use steam.

What does steam do?

Good day sir, how may I help you?

Id like to access my bank account please.

Certainly sir.

Steam, but I'm just posting this to say how much your sig rocks Zeek :shock:

 

 

 

Thanks :oops: SO how exactly do I open it with steam? Do I just let the steam go into it, and open it slowly with my finger? Or is there something more to it? I really do not want to mess it up... 8-[

Put some water on the stove and keep the letter in the steam. It will weaken the glue and you'll be able to open it without damaging the envelope.

Aren't you suppose to use a tea kettle and use the steam from that or something? Google it :P

Steam should work. :P

 

 

 

This reminds me of the time my algebra teacher sent letters home to parents to inform us that everyone in the class was failing. I volunteered to check the mail for three weeks until the letter came. :-w

Just open it, it's YOUR report card after all...
Not if it's addressed to his parents. They pay the school fees.

I always found that putting the letter in the freezer for a couple hours, then steaming it worked rather well.

Why on earth would you try putting a letter in a freezer...?

 

 

 

I need to open a letter... I know! Let's freeze it! :-s

It cost hardly anything to go to school... Most schools don't send em through the mail, they send em home with the kids.

Umm, just outta curiousity... who cares? Somehow I'm just failing to understand the big deal about opening it and then just tossing it to your parents opened.

 

 

 

And I'd have to agree. That's a pretty sweet sig.

I use to read anything, and I found out that stamp collectors would put envelops that had stamps that they wanted in the freezer and then steam it.

 

Freezing it weakens the glue a little bit so that it is less work to open it while steaming.

If you want to look a little less fishy then steam, a sharp exacto knife will work, the glue it back shut.

Depends on where he lives/what school he goes to

Medical Doctor-2018?

Geoff, you know the report cards from Pine we used to get how you had to rip them open? Well, it doesn't work for me because I have to rip mine open to see it. I asked my mom to send it to me, so I could view first. So it's good that I'll be in the next state over if I get a bad grade :wink:. I already know what you're going to say if you reply to this. "J00 dno't ge tb4d gr4de5!! J00 gte lkie ai 4.0!!!" Lol.

 

 

 

On Topic: Steam is the most effective way to open a 'Glue Sealed' letter. It melts the glue where you can open it, then once you view the mail, shut it, and the glue should harden again.

He goes to a Catholic School. So his parents do pay for it ;)
