Just take it to your local post office and say "I want to send this letter to ___" and they weigh it, then you pay them and then send it out like any other letter (or that's how it happens here in England, not sure if it's the same for you guys over in the US)

The Black Empire once ruled this pitiful world, and it will do so again! Your pitiful kind will know only despair and sorrow for a hundred thousand millennia to come!

"Dear mister Farage,
I really love England and English culture. And I think you are right in being a racist. But I do not think you should be racist against Slavic people because I like Slavic people. I think.
Much love,
N. Chambers.
PS: I think you're doing a stellar job defending England against those filthy ragheads."
Really? He didn't leave such an impression when he visited my city earlier this year.
A TV host asked him if he is aware that the Farage family are immigrants from France, that Britain made it's money from exploiting it's colonies and that if there was no immigration to Britain their women would still have thick mustaches from inbreeding. He seemed loss for words.

He really isn't that bad and his goal has been achieved somewhat. It has forced other parties to accept that there are people concerned about these issues. Even if they're only adapting to the programme now to maintain or achieve voters, being a safer option and a more secure vote, it's better than nothing.
UKIP won't win in 2015 and Cameron won't stick to his promise for a referendum, so either way it's probably all been for nought.
I'm leaving soon, so I don't care too much. I just worry about the Britain my family will grow up and grow old in.
British women have never been noted, or stereotyped, for being hairy. I believe you're mixing them up with some ex-Eastern Bloc countries, e.g. Bulgaria.
Or perhaps France.
However, I do like French women*, and none are noticeably hirsute.
*Apart from the fact that they're French, of course, but that isn't really their fault. I blame the parents.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the UK is a member of the EU.
"The European Union's (EU) internal market (sometimes known as the single market, formerly the common market) seeks to guarantee the free movement of goods, capital, services, and people." (Wikipedia)
Free movement of people --> you can work and live wherever you want within the Union.
They're not part of the Schengen Zone. Schengen just means that there are no border controls within the Zone because it's treated as one big area and only the outer borders have border controls. (Strictly speaking, there are still more or less random vehicle controls, e.g. on known smuggling routes.)

The misinformation in here in parts is outright hilarious.
From my understanding, the OP wants to send a letter... a plain letter.. From the US...
The costs for a plain letter, sent via First Class International (the common standard format, and the cheapest):
First-Class Mail® International Letter
Maximum Value for Contents: $400.00
Max. length 11-1/2", height 6-1/8" or thickness 1/4"
The costs for that is $1.10 at 1 oz weight
With 2 oz weight its $2.05
And one thing about surface mail/goods. Unless it's freight which is handled completely different. Surface mail (in fact, First Class Mail is the equivalent of plain old surface mail) too gets sent via Postal Air Planes to the destinations.
It takes about as long for surface mail to arrive as it takes for regular mail. Only Express Air is faster. And the Postal Service actually in most cases beats the private companies like UPS and FedEX... Unlike those two, USPS and it's international counterparts also work on the weekends.
