I would use grams because grams would give you more significant figures for the measurement than kilograms
Probably use kilograms, they're bigger than pounds. Most other countries use kilograms. Example: I weigh 120 pounds, which means I also weigh 54 kilograms.
I would use a postal scale to weigh the letter. Once I knew the weight, I could express it in any unit of force, but 'grams' would probably result in the most convenient number.
paper clips do not weigh much, perhaps a gram each, so 10 weigh about 10 grams, so you would use grams, not kilograms, since 1 kg = 1000 grams
As far as I can tell there is no such thing as a canalop! So it does not matter whether you use grams or kilograms - the measure will be zero in either case.
You could (theoretically) use either... However - Kilos is the preferred measurement.

Well, darling, if you want to get technical, you would weigh scissors in grams. Kilograms would be a bit overkill for those sharp little things. But hey, if you want to weigh them in elephants, go right ahead - just make sure you have a big enough scale.
For a weight of a letter, grams would be the best unit of measurement. As the letter typically is small and doesn't weigh that much. Example of using grams and kilograms would be. Getting slices of deli meat you would get grams, and for roast of meat you would use kilograms.

Kilograms are used to measure weight, while liters are used to measure volume. To weigh a squirrel accurately, you would use kilograms or grams.
You can just use a set of weigh scales.
It does not matter, kilograms or grams. A baby may weigh 3750 g or 3.750 kg both are used, that is the ease of use of the metric system.
