If you put a letter in an addressed envelope there is a risk someone else might post/deliver it for you. If you've written a letter you may not want to send then it's probably worth guarding against that if your circumstances allow for such unwanted posting.

Yes, but you tend not to actually put the letter in the envelope until you are ready to send it. That's the equivalent of this.
