I think it is not reasonable.
If someone is sending snail mail to me.
So, He needs to think of me virtual relationship or not? If you still don't understand.
I will give examples. You don't like me than friend and you don't want have virtual relationship to me. and You think If someday you sending snail mail to me. It's make me think that you want to have a virtual relationship and you must like me than friend or you might give me hope.
