A scary official letter? Get it explained, free.
Official mail, translated into plain English — deadlines first.
Free — no account needed for your first conversation.
Some envelopes change your heart rate before you open them. The IRS. A court. A debt collector. A letter from the landlord in language that seems designed so you won't understand it. Official mail has a way of being threatening and unreadable at the same time.
Kafana reads it with you. Snap a photo of the letter and ask. It tells you, in order: what this letter actually is, whether there's a deadline or something you must do — that part first — what it means in plain words, and what your options usually are. If the letter is in another language, it translates and explains in one go.
It also knows that some scary letters are fake. Debt-collection and tax scams are everywhere, and Kafana will tell you the warning signs and how to check before you pay anyone anything.
got a letter that says FINAL NOTICE and something about wage garnishment. im scared to even read it. can i just send you a photo
Yes — send the photo, that's exactly what I'm for. Before you spiral: "FINAL NOTICE" is also the favorite phrase of scam letters, so step one is checking whether this is even real. When you send it, I'll tell you who it's actually from, whether there's a real deadline, and what your options are. Nothing in that envelope gets worse because you understood it.

Questions & answers
What kinds of letters can it explain?
Tax notices, court mail, landlord notices, debt collection letters, insurance and benefits decisions, immigration correspondence, bank letters — any official mail. Snap a photo or paste the text and ask.
Can it tell if a letter is a scam?
It knows the common warning signs — fake urgency, gift-card payment demands, imposter agency letters — and will tell you how to verify the sender through official channels. When in doubt, it errs on the side of "verify before you pay anyone".
What if the letter is in another language?
Attach it anyway. Kafana translates and explains in one step, so you get what it says and what it means at the same time.
Is this legal advice?
No. For court dates, eviction notices or anything with serious legal consequences, Kafana will say clearly that you need real legal help — and can point you to free legal aid resources. Understanding the letter is the first step, not the last.
Kafana explains what official letters say — it isn't a lawyer. For court dates, evictions and anything with legal consequences, get real legal help; free legal aid exists and Kafana can help you find it.
