Use the following instructions at your own risk.

1. Liberalize the postal market within your country. This enables private competitors to move in and cherry pick high profit areas. The national postal operator will carry on the expensive Universal Service Obligation. Wait a while before proceeding to step 2.
2. Privatize the by now ailing postal system. If possible, turn it into a publicly traded company. Have proven private sector management take over and run the show.
3. Start heavy competition with your neighboring countries, inside their countries. Expect the favor to be returned.
4. Continue to make hefty profits. After all, we like to see satisfied shareholders. And multimillion Dollar bonuses are required to keep the new executives happy and working at their highest performance levels.
5. Set up a second postal network besides your original postal network. Pay substantially lower wages to employees of the new postal network. This helps you to compete against those nasty privateers. You may also consider replacing your original postal delivery network with the new (and cheaper) network.
6. Discard all full time employees and shift work to much cheaper part timers. The state will pick up the tab and bridge possible subsistence income gaps with social assistance.
