Letter writing is good if you think it will help you. I would never send it. 95% of the posts about writing letters are from women about writing to their A men. Men do not react to the written word the way women do, A or not. This is a generalization of course but there is a lot of truth in it.

I do not like letters, emails or texts because there is no context in them in terms of body language, tone, etc.

So if it makes you feel better, write like crazy. Again I don't think you should send it and if you do send it you should have zero expectations as to its effect.
