Changing the system the old fashioned way.

What would happen if a Canadian wrote in?  Would it just be tossed in the trash?

Canadians bring in a LOT of business on the border, and there's a lot of commuters between the countries as well. You might be surprised.

You might also consider Georgia, which is another nice-looking serif font. You need to print it out before you can tell if it looks right or not, though, it really looks different when printed than on a screen. The only good reason to use Georgia instead of Times is because Times is the default in Word, and Georgia looks just slightly different, and if you're already trying to stand out by using nice paper, why not use a slightly more uncommon font.

(It's not that uncommon BTW, most weblogs that use a serif font are set in Georgia, because it is very readable on a computer screen).

If you want to experiment more, there's also a bunch of new Vista fonts your computer might have, Constantia and Cambria are the serif ones. You might also want to try Candara which is a sans-serif with stems that slope wider to the ends, like a boot-cut, so that's kind of in between serif and sans. But you gotta try it in print, cause it might also look too playful.

In any case, go for one of the default pre-installed fonts on your system. Most fonts that you can download for free aren't kerned very well (meaning that the spacing between the letters might look uneven), making them unsuitable for large blocks of text.
