I'd like to claim that nobles, especially council members, writing letters to adventurers, is non-SMA. If I understand correctly, the more "SMA" method would be to write out a cookie-cutter standard message that says something impersonal about the noble's general intentions, and then stamped or something, and passed out by messengers to post on stuff. But very rarely, possibly not at all, would someone whom others would see as a traveling commoner get a letter from a king or equivalent.
I often send RP's instead of letters, signing them with Cedric Campbell, First Scribe. So I do agree on that.
