How to Write the Perfect Love Letter by Larry Barkdull, Award-Winning, Nationally Recognized Writer
 * Part 1. Tips!**

1. Greeting. Choose an endearing salutation. Don't be formal. Use your love's first name. For example: "My dearest Jennifer . . ." or "My darling Matt . . ."

2. Beginning. Start your Love Letter by telling your beloved your reasons for writing. For instance: "I have lain awake many sleepless nights trying to compose words that might adequately describe the feelings of my heart. But every time I have made the attempt, I have failed miserably. Please forgive my poor effort and accept a trite and simple phrase: I love you. I think I can say it no better than that..." Never insult your beloved's feelings or belittle yourself by saying something like: "I know you probably don't feel this way," or "You must think I'm crazy."

3. Body. The body of the Love Letter should include reasons for why you fell in love. Here are some ideas: -. recall when you fell in love with him/her -. explain how your life has changed for the better -. describe how much you miss your love when you're apart -. explain that you can't imagine life without him/her -. list some of the many things you have in common -. tell how wonderful and complete he/she makes you feel -. recall some special moments you've shared together mention times you've picked him/her out of a crowd list qualities that set him/her apart from everyone else Avoid being -. casual, -. too light-hearted, -. openly erotic. A Love Letter is a letter of respect that coveys deep, difficult-to-express feelings.

4. Closing. End your Love Letter with carefully worded prose: "There, I have said it. I can rest now. And as I dream, I will dream of you." Make your closing upbeat and positive.

5. Valediction. Don't just end with: "Love, Eric." Even if you said, "All my love," it would be better. You become even more romantic by writing something like: "Dream of me, my love..." What you want is a simple, yet heartfelt goodbye: "With undying love," or "Forever yours." Remember, you may think this is too sappy, but your loved one will treasure each word. Be prepared to have it quoted to you in years to come.

6. Be expressive. Here are some popular words to use in your Love Letter: angel, angelic, lover, giving, alluring, tempting, sensual, sensuality, seeing, tasting, touching, holding, caressing, memories, memorable, darling, gorgeous, absence, velvet, voyage, beautiful, vision, elation, blossoms, happy, kisses, innocent, passion, dreaming, delirious, temptation, complete, desire, content, embrace, rainbow, rose, adoring, stars, privileged, heart.
