Correct Enum Value

I want to get a value of Enum.In here i get value as enumVal.ToCharArray()[0].But it's not correct.(When i select Received in dropdownlist then value shows me 88 (R's Char array value,BUT i want Received's value is 1)

My Code

var LetterTypeList = new List<LetterStatusModel>();
foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(LetterStatus)))
{
string enumVal = item.ToString();
LetterTypeList.Add(new LetterStatusModel { LetterStatusCode = enumVal.ToCharArray()[0], LetterStatusName = enumVal });
}


public class LetterStatusModel
{
public int LetterStatusCode { get; set; }
public string LetterStatusName { get; set; }

}


public enum LetterStatus
{
Received = 1,
Issued = 2,
Paused = 3,
Cancel = 4,
}

Instead of taking the name of the value by doing ToString(), you can cast the value to an int:

int enumValue = (int)item;
