They meet up with Oscar and the mail carrier, who introduces herself (Angela Hampton). Oscar asks the mail carrier to have his mail "get lost," which scares Elmo into thinking his letter will get lost. The mail carrier assures him by saying that as long as he has an address on it, it won't get lost. Elmo is pleased that he put an address and stamp on. |

Elmo mails his letter and they leave... |
