When did you last write a letter?

I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter.
I have been watching a documentary series, in which one of the featured subjects came to a sticky end, thanks to the discovery of seventy letters she wrote. But I cannot even remember the last time I put pen to paper (or fired off a missive via typewriter) and sent it, in an envelope. Thirty years ago, it was the most common way to sent written correspondence. Now, I never write letters.

I’ve written a few to you. Did you not receive them?1
-
I type a few out every week, then print them off & send them......to clients or providers.2
-
Last hand written one was probably a love letter / final goodbye letter. Less than 5 years ago.0
-
Three weeks ago. And last week. But I take your point, it’s a rare event nowadays.1
-
Every week at work. Outside of work....I’m not sure I ever have.0
-
Last Tuesday. Albeit to somebody elderly who has never been involved with modern technology. It's still good to receive letters tho'. **Edit - I also find letters of complaint to companies hit the spot better than trying to negotiate your way through websites and chat lines where you don't actually speak to a human being.1

10 years ago. A bluey to my mum when I was in Afghanistan.1

About a month ago handwritten to my MP.0

My handwriting is bad, apparently, so if I were to write a letter I’d do it on the PC and print and post it. Can’t remember the last time I even did that seeing as most is send by email these days.
last letter was probably five years ago to my Aunt in Oz. That’s stopped now as we Skype/Messenger now.0 -
Spray paint, rather than letters tends to get the message across quicker to the recipient in my opinion.4

She won’t write a letter, though I always tell her1

On a computer? Last week.
Written by hand on paper? I really don't know. I would guess a few years unless you count a note to the wife such 'I have fed the dogs' (with two kisses, of course).0 -

define 'a letter' …. I very often write 'informal' and 'chatty' emails to family and friends. At one time these would have been hand written/typed and posted. Same facility, different means of delivery.
From time to time I have to write/type business letters. These are almost invariably sent by conventional mail. I also send Christmas and birthday cards via Royal Mail

A written or typed missive, on paper, sent through a postal service to an individual recipient, a group, an organisation, governing or representative body or company, pertaining to a matter of common interest.Lincsaddick said:define 'a letter' ….

Not an email.0 -
My resignation to my previous/last employer stating I was quitting to retire and wanted to leave at the end of period of sick leave. (Two weeks) They replied telling me my required period of notice was a month, so I replied giving a months notice and sent a certificate for a further four weeks sick leave. We can all play the system 😂😂4

Work letters.
HMRC don't allow emails until a matter becomes ongoing as one example.0 -
I hand write letters fairly regularly to my father. He lives on the isle of Lewis and doesn't have a phone. With the exception of visting him, it's the only way I can contact him.3

Er approx 1995. Letter written to my girlfriend at the time from our lads holiday in Magaluf.
19yr old JohnBoy was far too wet behind the ears and never expected all the lads to read the contents too.
Tend to write all official correspondence by email now. Dont tend to handwrite anything now apart from cards.1 -
When I did my MSc in the late 90’s, I struggled with actually writing as it was so long that done any writing, the 3hr exams were torture.0

Typing's still not 100% though...guinnessaddick said:When I did my MSc in the late 90’s, I struggled with actually writing as it was so long that Donne any writing, the 3hr exams were torture.
