sealed letter
Unopened written message
A sealed letter is correspondence that has been closed and secured, typically with an adhesive envelope flap or historically with wax, indicating it hasn't been opened or read by anyone other than the sender.
The seal implies privacy and intact delivery: The sealed letter sat unopened on her desk for days.
In legal contexts, a sealed letter may carry formal significance, suggesting contents meant only for the designated recipient.
