Simple word of advice here: always check the postage.  All the URGENT's,
OFFICIAL's, PRIZE NOTIFICATION's don't amount to a dog turd when the
postage is bulk rate.  Just toss 'em.  Any really important mail of this
type would be AT A MINIMUM first class, and likely something more restrictive
like registered, certified, etc.
