I'm pretty sure that this doesn't actually work.

You
can send an empty
envelope through the mail to yourself, and just keep
it around until
you need it. Then, to "prove" you wrote something,
just stick it in
the envelope and seal it. Then it looks like you
sent the material way
back whenever the envelope was postmarked.
