A new job envelope that arrives before the first morning.
A promotion, a first day, a leap. Sent before the first morning. Write the letter, add the photos, and a film if there’s one to send, so they can hear you say it. Pay once and send the link. They open it on their screen, like the real thing.
New job envelope: what goes inside
A letter
What they’re good at that the new place doesn’t know yet. What you’ll miss, if they’re leaving yours.
Dear Hana, They’ve no idea how lucky they are. We do.
A postcard
A photo of the old desk, or the commute they won’t miss.
Last day on the 7:14. Goodbye, seat 23.
A film
The team, one at a time. The good stories only.
2:05 · The team says goodbye, eventually
How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
New job envelope questions
Can the whole team sign it?
One person makes it, but everyone can be in it: collect their lines for the letter and their clips for one film. No card going round the office for a week.
Can it open on their first morning?
Set it to open at eight on their first day and they’ll have it on the commute.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.
