Let's Play Post Office was a short-lived daytime game show where three contestants guessed the identity of a celebrity letter writer as the letter was read one line at a time. The set resembled a post office.

Gameplay

Three contestants were read "letters" written by a famous person and tried to identify the author from clues hidden in the letter. The faster the contestant guessed the identity, the more money they could win. A final "Zip Round" featured quick two-line messages worth $25 for correct answers to help determine the day's winner.
