Mountain → Letter: An obstacle or delay may take written or documented form.
Mountain → Letter ↗A practical example
Paperwork waiting for a required signature gives this pair a concrete setting. The Letter identifies the written item; Mountain points to what stops its progress. A delay alone does not tell you whether the eventual answer is favorable.
Check it against your question
Keep the actual order and ask which part of the example fits your situation. An example illustrates a possible reading; it does not establish facts or promise an outcome.
Compare two real-life contexts
For an application, Letter + Mountain can concern correspondence facing a delay. For household administration, it can concern paperwork blocked by a missing step. Mountain + Letter begins with the obstacle and may describe a written notice about it. The pair cannot identify who caused the problem. Ask what information or action is actually missing rather than treating every silence as rejection.
