Why not just make a pdf or a copy paste version? I get suspicious when extra work is done to make worse ux; my assumption is that it rarely happens without a hidden incentive.

I think part of the package is the official-looking envelope from the LLP, transparent window and all.

It won't have the same effect if you just download a PDF, print it out, and mail it in a generic envelope with a handwritten address on it.

Fair enough, although I'd love to see that as an upsell instead.

I'm not sure if they changed it after your comment, but right now there is clearly two options. One where you can get a google doc and just use theirs as a template, and one where they send it for you.

Yes! We added it in later so people could make their own!

OP here - We just wanted to make it easier on folks to send out! We just posted the template on the site now if people want to write their own!

Not all of us have printers, for a start.
