If you assume an average person weighs about 150 pounds, one part per billion would be equivalent to a one ounce first class letter in the pocket of one of 416,667 people and yet, organisms do respond to materials present in even much smaller concentrations than parts per billion.

Explanation

This term applies to the postage system of the Royal Mail in England.
There is a choice of a first class letter and a second class letter. The first class letter allegedly gets delivered the next day, a second class letter within three days.
In this context, Standardbrief as above is probably right.

Brief mit X Gramm

X steht für das Gewicht, das in diesem hier gezogenen Vergleich mit dem Gewicht des Mannes das entsprechende Verhältnis ergibt.
Schätzung: nicht mehr als 20 Gramm
