Love letters written in the early days One way to express love emotionally is to use words. There is tremendous power in words of affirmation if done to lift up another person’s spirit. Late in the early 1940’s young people used letters during courtship a great deal compared to present day. Youths wrote love letters to express their love to their newfound sweetheart. "The old-fashioned love letter appears to have had its day. Maybe these letters have changed into digital records in the form of text messaging. According to the Telegraph, less than one in five received a love letter from an admirer. And only 28% have received a letter from a lover in the past five years, according to Bradford & Bingley. More than a third of those aged between 16 and 34 have never written a letter to their sweetheart, compared to just 14% for the over-55s, the survey conducted by GfK NOP found. I wonder whether the survey took time to find out what the youths are texting on their mobile phone. Police in Japan have successfully used love letters to actually reduce criminal offenses committed by delinquent teenagers. They sent out over 100 letters written by female police officers to boys and girls arrested for criminal offenses or held in police custody. In the process of exchanging letters with the teenagers, the section has received letters from some of the boys. One of the boys commented "I'm so happy when I read the letters, I feel close to tears." Going through an attic I found these letters and want to share them with you. Maybe you can borrow a few lines and plan your strategy. Don’t forget all you want is to get your lover to say yes. Small yes could lead to your big moment. The goal is to get her a designer platinum engagement ring and a lifetime commitment.
