1. Clear your desk and your mind of distractions.
2. Place a picture of the one you love in front of you.

4. Take out your best stationery and pen.
5. On another sheet of paper, make two lists: a) his/her unique qualities; b) your hopes for the future together.
6. Personalize the salutation. "Dear ___ ," or "To my darling _____," are both fine.

8. In the following paragraph, share your hopes and dreams for the future you can have together.
9. Personalize the closing. "I will love you always," "Loving you forever," "My heart is yours," are all good possibilities.
10. Don't forget to sign!
11. Spray the letter with a light fragrance.
12. Address, seal, and stamp the letter.
13. Wait a day before you send it; you may change your mind.
