correspondence

When referring to letters and emails, "correspondence" is usually an uncountable noun. You do not say "correspondences" even if you have many letters. In formal business settings, it is often used as a general term to cover all types of written communication, including memos and official notices. When describing a similarity between two things, the word is often paired with the preposition "between" or "with" (e.g., "a correspondence between X and Y").

Jackson uses 'correspondence' to sound more professional and sophisticated while pitching a crypto deal, though it feels slightly out of place in a text message. Ryan responds with 'bet', a slang term meaning 'alright' or 'I believe you', showing his oblivious and casual nature.
