A site called ShinyLetter tried this concept a while back, but there was one problem - it cost you $2 for up to 4 pages. An ok deal, except you can send a regular size letter yourself internationally through the U.S. Postal Service for under $2. Their model didn’t work (their site is up but isn’t functional).

Now, the newly launched eSnailer will print, envelope, stamp, and send your letter completely free of charge. eSnailer is using an ad based model to compensate for cost. People don’t wanna pay for something they can just do themselves for the same price. But if it’s free, like eSnailer, and takes out the hassle of finding an envelope, stamps, etc. then I see this as a valuable and just plain fun service.
