junk mail
Unwanted promotional letters
Junk mail is unsolicited advertising sent through the postal system—catalogs, flyers, credit card offers, and similar mass mailings that arrive without request.
The term carries dismissive connotations; recipients typically consider it worthless clutter destined for the trash.
The digital equivalent is spam, sometimes called junk email.
