Letter to everybody above average height (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tall

'above average height' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'letter to everybody' is the wordplay.
'letter' becomes 't' ().
'to everybody' becomes 'all' (all people).
't'+'all'='TALL'

(Other definitions for tall that I've seen before include "Vertically large" , "Higher than the average person" , "hard to believe in" , "Above average height" , "Of great height" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
