No one can
teach you how to write a love letter, but here are a few tips:
1. Never be
discreet. If you dare not stick you r neck out, you might as well not write the
thing. If you are afraid you may regret your wild words later on, when you have
cooled off you do not love her anyway.
2. Never be
reliable. If she knows that exactly four pages will drop on her doormat by the
first post, six days a week, she will treat them as casually as they deserve.
Much better to keep her guessing, so that she never know whether she will get
18 pages, two lines, or nothing at all – or find it under her pillow and wonder
how the hell it got there.
3. If you
can type, do. Some people are said to be annoyed by this – but not so – and they
far more likely ot be annoyed by writing they cannot read. Besides, it means that
you can keep a carbon (a) to avoid contradicting yourself, and (b) to give to
your lawyer when the troble starts.
4. Love
letters do not have to be truthful. She done not expect it; she expects to be
moved by their intensity.
5. In extreme
cases, love letters do not have to be complimentary. Lovers’ private language
is so personal that it is impossible, really, for an outsider to pass judgment
on it.
6. How is
your spelling? Even if it’s shocking, make sure you get one thing right – her name.
Address, “Anne” as “Ann,” or “Jayne” as “Jane” and you have probably had it
before you start.
