VONZELL SOLOMON, AMERICAN IDOL FINALIST AND MAIL CARRIER

FANS OF AMERICAN IDOL FINALIST AND MAIL CARRIER VONZELL SOLOMON CAN SAY "CONGRATULATIONS" VIA USPS.COM

WASHINGTON—Internet savvy fans can extend their kudos to American Idol finalist and Postal Service mail carrier Vonzell Solomon through her exclusive 90210 Post Office Box directly from usps.com. Thanks to a new customized card featured on NetPost CardStore, the Postal Service is making it easy to "connect the connected" through the internet and fans can now send congratulatory wishes to Vonzell with just a click of the mouse.

Last week, a post office box at the Beverly Hills Post Office was opened to make it easy for fans to extend congratulations and support to Vonzell—a Rural Carrier from Fort Myers, Florida. Going a step further, a special card has been designed to make it convenient for fans using the internet to congratulate their idol for her continued success on the show and to offer encouragement during the remaining weeks of the competition.

"The nearly 120,000 men and women of the United States Postal Service who are dedicated to delivering the mail to rural America salute their idol," said Dale A. Holton, President of the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association. "Many of them undoubtedly tune in every week to watch, cheer for and vote for Vonzell. I'm now asking all of my fellow postal employees and their families who support Vonzell to vote and make her America's idol!"

Rural Carriers represent a portion of the 700,000 total employees of the U.S. Postal Service — each are dedicated to providing the best service possible to the American people.
