I agree with @Ravi.

Fare is the money that you pay for a journey (bus, train).

Value refers to quality or importance of something.

Stamp is a small piece of paper which you lick and stick on an envelope before you post.

So right answer is postage.

Fare/value is not given to the letter in general and stamp is not applible here so postage is the correct answer I think.

Postage itself include the amount required for sending any mail, we generally use the word postage in place of fare.

Postage is word that deals with letters. While fare is used when you come across travelling.

Postage means "the charge for mailing something".

So it should be postage ! and not value.
