Hi,

She sent me a letter. This is written on it: ".. Not idiomatic

She sent me a letter. It read: ".. The most common of thse choices.

She sen me a letter. It reads: ".. This is OK. It suggests that you still have the letter, and even that you are looking at it while you are telling us about it.

She sent me a letter. It goes: ".. Like the previous one, only a little more casual.

This is very confusing to me. Which of them are right or what's the most common word for it?

We also often say 'It says' or 'It said'.
