As you may have heard Postage Rates are increasing as of 3 April
  1988.  I just recieved the official notification of this from the Post
  Office, and this is what they said:
		for 1 oz or less:	25 cents
		for each additional oz: 20 cents
		Post Cards		15 cents
		Canada	
 (1st oz)		30 cents
		International (1/2 oz)	45 cents
		Express Mail
		 Domestic
		   1/2 pound		$8.75
		   less then 2 lbs	$12.00
		   less then 5 lbs	$15.25
		   less then 5 lbs	$15.25
	little has changed besides this but I have left copies of the official
 notification on various Bulletin Boards.
