In this age of digital communication, writing letters is becoming something of a lost art. Emails and text messages can be sent instantly and for a fraction of the cost that good old fashioned snail mail can offer. So, why bother teaching letter-writing at all? Well, though electronic ‘letters’ are often freer in terms of formatting and language than physical letters, we can also apply the rules of letter-writing to electronic media too. However, physical letters do offer some distinct benefits of their own too.

A WELL WRITTEN LETTER CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

Whilst we pride ourselves here on how to write a great essay, information report or other text type that is primarily used in an educational setting, the ability to craft a powerful letter or email has literally changed people's lives, altered the course of history and been the difference between life and death in some cases.

It can be the one opportunity we have to remove all the noise and confusion on any subject area and truly tell someone how you feel straight from the heart.  Pen to paper.  

For whatever reason a thousand, emails, tweets, likes will never have the same impact as a well crafted hand written letter.  Its very creation and existence shows your reader how passionate and genuine about what it contains.
