    Um...
    I think what you want is a printer, an envelope, a stamp and a postbox.

    That's 64p for the first class stamp (or 55p for second class), envelopes 50 for £2 on Amazon, that's 4p an envelope, a printer you may already have and the postbox is provided by the Royal Mail.

    That's 68p/59p for doing the work yourself and walking to the postbox in the process...

    Why would you need to go to the Post Office? Stamps can be bought elsewhere.

    You did try Google first?
    Of course there are services.
    Priced at a slight premium to the cost of stamp alone:

    If you have to send a letter, rather than using electronic communications, which are quite well established these days, you would presumably have to sign it as well as type it...
