do you write personal letters still today?

No, it is emails all the way. Sometimes, for official letters, we may have to write using snail mail. SMS and hand phones have made even writing email a little outmoded. So snail mail is surely out of my systems as far as personal hard copes are concerned.

I do write personal letters, but not much. Mostly to my sons who live far away. I correspond most by email and phone. Though a letter is more personal and confidential than an email, it is not as good as actually hearing the voice.

[b]I haven't abandoned personal letters at all. After all, everything one puts into email can be seen by others, so there's no assurance of privacy. The main reason, however, is that, even though I write in the same style no matter in what medium, I appreciate the personal touch of an actual letter, so I do the same for my friends. They appreciate it, too. Maggiepie "PLEASE DON'T TELL OBAMA WHAT COMES AFTER A TRILLION!"[/b]

I love writing personal letters to my friends but that was before. Nowadays, people are more dependent on high-technology gadgets. Me too! But I still consider writing personal letters more sweet. I communicate with my friends with so many ways now. I text and call them through my cellphone. I also send them messages through e-mail and chatting.

I still write letters all the time. I like writing letters. I don't hardly text anyone. I do send email online to but I like writing and sending letters out. I use to write to people all over the world. I had friends in many places all over the world.

Two years ago I moved to the UK and I started to write letters to my family in China. Of course I can talk with them on skype but my father worked in mail industry and he had a special feeling about letters. My mother told me he wants to get letters from me. So now I write letters to him monthly. It’s more expensive than talking on line. However I can send him some photos or cards, also can tell him more about my life here. The bad thing is sometimes these letters delayed one month, even more. Luckily by now I have not lost any letter to him. (cross woods)

I never write personal letters till today.I never used to write during olden days.Only my mom and my grandmom used to communicate through postal letters in those days.I used to write a few lines to my grandmom during that time.Now some people who do not have computers at home still use post as a medium to send letters and greeting cards.Post is still there in the world today but it does not operate the way it used to work in the days before.

One or two years before,when i was in senior high school,i still writed letters to my friends who didn't study in the same school with me.We kept in touch with each other by writting letters,we enjoyed writting letters very much.But now in university,we only use cellphones and internet,what a pity!

hello shibham! i always love writing personal letters...when my husband & i are still bf/gf, i always write a letter for him...i remember that those personal letters do a lot for our relationship to survive...(well that time we are having a long distance relationship) even there's already text messaging by then, i still prefer writing him a letter...which he really appreciates. now, i still want to write letters for him, yes i still do but i just hand it to him! hehe since we are living in the same house now...i just write short messages for him... last week, just last week, i receive a letter from my cousin and i write back to her...and the feeling is just different... i think writing personal letters is really great for its more personal, more sincere... i also write to some of my friends but just through e-mail...hehe

Hi Shibham. I love to write personal letters and notes. People are always surprised and happy to receive them these days, as I am when I receive one. It adds a more personal touch...plus I love the actual process of writing by hand sometimes as opposed to always "typing." Karen

Hello friend, Yah,until now i still wrote personal letters to distant friends. Mostly during occasions,like sending birthday cards ,thank you cards and other occasions. It is better to wrote personal letters to express how much we value someone in our lives rather than texting or sending emails.

hi shibham, yes, i still write personal letters today. i still make it for my husband and my parents. i used to surprise my husband with a note, e.g. insert a bill/money with an i love you note in his wallet's secret pocket and a lovely note in the box cover of his new pair of shoes. it maybe short but very personal and sweet!

Hello my friend You are right, I use to write all the time but lately just the though depresses me its really sad, I owe someone a letter rightnow and it so unfair that I have not responded as of yet I use to write just to write, I would write on anything as long as I had a pen/paper you will see something I wrote, now lol it really stinks, I keep saying one day I will do this but that never has yet to come therefore I will not say it now, in time my friend in time. Thank you.

hi,shibham,I'll write personal letters if I want to konw someone more.because I think we can know more for a personal letter sometimes.The style is the man,right?

Would you believe that I still have some friends that do not and will not get a computer. I still tend to type out their letters on the computer, but instead of e-mailing them, I print them out and post them snail-mail. - Derek

Hi Shibham, I still take the time to write letters to many family members. They do not have the internet anyhow, but they are older and really love to get the letters, note cards and greeting cards that I send. I try to send my letters to my family and friends at least once a month, many times as you have said we get too busy and it gets longer between letters. Your post has reminded me that I need to get a few letters out very soon. It has been a while since sent one to my Aunt on the west coast. When I write letters, most times I also place a photo of us or something we did or somewhere we went. It brings us a little more closer together and not so far away. It really does not take that much time to write the letters, many times I write them when I am relaxing in front of the T.V.

I have pen pals where I still send snail mails all over the world but unfortunately since I had my daughter 2 1/2 years ago, I haven't had the time to sit down & write any so I tend to use email & facebook moreso now.

I do still write personal letters. Just a few years ago, I used to write them all the time. My grandmother lived pretty far away and she loved getting letters. I have to admit that I liked getting them too. It ws a nice surprise to get off from work and find a letter in the mail.

I loved to write personal letters when I was younger. Pages and pages of just teenage agnst to my best friend that lived in a different state, and she did the same. We used to go and buy stationary (all different colors and background pictures)and write to each other. I loved sending snail mail and getting mail, it feels much more personal and thoughtful. And Shibham, you are correct, nowadays its all about time and running around getting things done. I still try to write a letter every so often but with the internet and cell phones its just quicker and easier. But I do hope that the personal touch is never lost.

Shibham, I am absolutely right with you.When i give a letter to my soul mate it is not about convey my feelings or simple information. I do believe its my touch all in every where. My hand writing can only reflects me at that moment. I think when he will read my letter I am staying right beside with him......Nuzhat
