I have a bit of an odd request here, but I would like to know if I can create a mailbox in Minecraft, and leave a written message in it for another player to read, like a text file or something?
I am not much of a Minecraft player myself, but I just need to know if that is technically possible?
Thank you

Yes - the traditional apprach is to leave a mailbox - some container, like a barrel, maybe decorated to resemble a fancy mailbox, in front of your base, with a book&quill inside. Anyone can pick the book and leave you a message inside - or deliver some goods and leave them in the mailbox alongside the message.
More technically inclined players will add redstone contraptions that indicate the mailbox was used, and some even create an elaborate underground railway network, alongside with fancy routing mechanisms, to deliver the mail directly to the recipient's base using a minecarts with chest.
