One of the most beautiful things about letters is the simplicity of their structure.
Dear...
From...
That's all you need to start writing a letter.
Letters can be written to a person; for example, a loved one, a celebrity or a stranger. They can also be addressed to people who are no longer here or have yet been born: for example your ancestors or great-grandchildren.
You could also write a letter to more abstract notions, such as a letter to your self-doubt, the solar system or society's expectations. There are no limitations to who or what your letter can be addressed to.
Below are some examples you can use for inspiration:
A letter to your future self
A letter to your parents
A letter to a teacher who helped you
A letter to someone you love or loved
A letter to someone you miss
A letter to your pet
A letter to your hopes or fears
A letter to depression or anxiety
A letter to someone you used to know
A letter to someone who misunderstood you
A letter of apology or regret
A letter to your niece or nephew
A letter of reconciliation
A letter to God
A letter to society
A letter to someone you admire
A letter to the world
A letter to someone who is struggling
A letter to a friend
A letter to yourself in five years or five years ago
A letter to no one in particular
A letter to a celebrity
A letter to your child / future child
A letter to the stars or universe
A letter to the earth
