Cost of mailing a letter will increase to 39 cents, Jan 8

Beginning Sunday, the Postal Service will charge an extra 2 cents to mail a standard, first-class letter, and an extra penny to send a postcard. The estimated $3.1 billion raised by the increase will go into an escrow account mandated by Congress. Its use has yet to be decided.
