TLDR : Answer Summary
A user received a letter from the UK Consulate advising to extend their visa at Immigration. Several commenters discussed their experiences with the process, including the required documents such as a screenshot of a cancelled flight, their visa expiry dates, and the necessity of an original letter. The details shared suggest that receiving the extension letter via email is acceptable, and the process may vary in efficiency depending on individual circumstances, with some users reporting a quick response.

And Paul has his answers. it is so easy, contact your Embassy, if they provide than apply for this letter and ask how the Embassy send you this letter.

The mailman and post office is hundreds years old, so not breaking news to tell everybody you received a letter from your Embassy.

E-mail is used for over 20 years, if you can manage to set up a Facebook account, we all know that you did manage to make an e-mail account and know how it works. Thanks.
