There's nothing better than getting a love letter from someone you're smitten with. Sometimes they arrive by snail mail but these days it's more likely that you'll receive your words of love in an electronic version. The important thing is not how it arrives, but that it arrives. Of course, a romantic at heart would probably still prefer a handwritten note or letter on a napkin or even on a piece of notebook paper, but you can print your e-version of a love letter and if you read it often enough it will take on a more classic used paper look and feel of a hastily written traditional love letter. All that's left to do then is to decide if you feel the same way about the sender and whether to write back, or not give it another thought.

Function

Professions of love, admissions of attraction, heartfelt requests asking for forgiveness and second chances--all of these are written, sometimes with many agonizing rewrites, to win over or win back the heart of someone you love. Why take the time to write notes or letters when you can just make a phone call? A good reason would be so that the recipient can read and re-read it and maybe if it didn't get the desired results the first time, maybe it will work on the second or third reading.

Types

What format should one use to send your message? Today in all likelihood it would be an email, a Myspace message or a text message. The thing that they should all have in common is that they should be love letters straight from the heart. Since they are going to be available to be read over and over they should have significant emotion so that when they are re-read they are so touching that they are saved and not deleted, erased or shredded. Electronics in today's world can destroy heartfelt messages in moments but if the words are special and touching they will be kept in computers and phones for a long time.

Time Frame

How does someone know when it's the right time to take a chance on putting their most private thoughts about a relationship with another in a love letter? It will only have meaning if the timing corresponds with the feelings, and the words will only be appropriate if the timing is logical. If you have only known someone for a day or two and you profess undying love, your words of love in any format may be met with skepticism.

Benefits

What kind of reaction can you expect when you take a chance on telling someone how you feel about them? Surely the desired results are that the recipient will feel the same way and will write back with her own touching words filled with sentiment and love.
Theories/Speculation

In theory, a love letter doesn't have to be well written as long as the words are heartfelt. It shouldn't matter what form is chosen to carry the message, electronic or traditional. It shouldn't matter if it arrives in a text message on a phone, or in an email, or on a napkin or if it is printed on computer paper with hearts on it. All that should matter is that the words are appropriate and full of meaning. And if the timing is right and someplace in the words are written "I Love You" maybe you'll get a message back that says "I Love You too"!
