Covid 19 is the latest stall. Previously it was a computer error. Heck I remember in elementary school saying their dog chewed up their homework. NO IT WAS NOT ME.
The teacher, I don't recall what she said but knew we were all from the same housing development and there were no dogs allowed.

Old school, perhaps. A return receipt letter. You have proof it was delivered. You can for extra fees have restricted delivery a specific name. That can be a problem if the person is not in. A company you will likely get a rubber stamp. Even if they refuse the letter, legally it is still delivered and proof that you sent it. I'm not sure that is true of the less expensive priority mail. I've been wrestling with Florida government. Their STALL
in their records they show my letter received weeks after priority mail shows it delivered.
Also, amusing some fool sent me an e-mail showing they got my letter on a sunday.
I think corresponding by email is a better way to go. You have proof that the message was delivered, and proof of the contents of the message. When you mail a letter, you can only prove that a "letter" was delivered, but you can't prove what information it contained.
