A special paper for important letters - how is it called?
QQQ
Posts: 392 Forumite
It is a nice tradition here in Britain to use a special paper for important letters. It is thicker and slightly different color. I need to buy some but what should I type in google?
P.S. English is not my first language so apologies if the question sounds silly
P.P.S. Imagine you are going to write a letter to Her Majesty. What sort of paper will you use?

Will you also be using a quality fountain pen..?Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

there is a commercial one available called 'Conquerer' bond, I have some in a nice beige colour with matching envelopes, if you pm me I will send you some 0

Yes Conqueror is the one to use.0

There is also one called Laid which is often used when good quality documents are required. I think Conquerer make this type of quality paper, but most decent stationers will stock one brand or another.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
