Mail is a piece of household post that turns up in homes and post boxes. It counts as junk, but it still has a couple of small uses.
Each piece takes a random name when it spawns. A survivor may pick up a Bill, an Overdue Bill, a Scam Letter, a Thank You Letter or a Threatening Letter. All of them share this one page and behave the same way.
Mail can be opened and read like a newspaper. Its practical worth lies in two things. It serves as paper for the Make Firecracker recipe, and it burns as kindling. It is found, never crafted.
Uses
Make Firecracker is the one recipe that takes it. Mail is one of several paper options in that recipe, alongside a Sheet of Paper, a Brochure, a Flier and Paperwork. The recipe also needs Glue, Gunpowder and Twine. A pair of scissors is used and kept. No station or skill level is needed, and the result is a Firecracker.
Paper is easy to find, so mail rarely matters for this recipe. It still saves a clean Sheet of Paper for other jobs.
Mail also works as kindling for a fire. It catches easily and burns for a very short time. It is best used to get a campfire started.
Used in Crafting
Everything made with the Mail, with how much each recipe takes, the other materials it needs, the station and the skill.

Locations
Mail is a common find in homes. Living room dressers and side tables hold it often, as do kitchen shelves. Survivor safehouses often keep a pile of it by the fireplace. Post boxes on any building also hold it fairly often. Hoarder houses carry some, and bedrooms, attics, halls and garages turn up a piece only now and then. Police archives and evidence rooms hold the odd letter as well.
