I think that the norm is to contact schools the same way that they contact you. (i.e. send emails to schools that exclusively email, letters to schools that send mail, etc.) As a courtesy, I would call schools that you have been invited to interview at, so that they can invite a new person in your place asap, and then send a follow up letter or email.
