**********************************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

POSITION OF ALPHABET AS CONSONANTS IS MULTIPLIED BY 2

AND VOWELS ARE SAME

H = 8 × 2 = 16

E = 5 (VOWEL)

L = 14 × 2 = 28

P = 16 × 2 =  32

SIMILARLY

S = 19 × 2 = 38

A = 1 (VOWEL)

V = 22 × 2 = 44

E = 5 (VOWEL)

THEREFORE

M = 13 × 2 = 26

A = 1 (VOWEL)

I = 9  (VOWEL)

L = 12 × 2 = 24

MAIL = 261924
