View submission: What If?: Letter to Mom

View parent comment

Teleportation destroys the original letter and merely makes a copy at his mother's house, it is not handwritten, it was written by the teleporter. He might as well send an email.

It's true, teleportation would result in a copy not the original. Faxing it would be the quickest.
