A Reason to Write a Letter

A very good reason to write a letter is that, if you write the right kind of letter, it will bring great joy to the person on the receiving end.

The emotion of getting a letter in the mail is captured so perfectly in these lines from the W.H. Auden poem "This is the Night Mail":
And none will hear the postman's knock
Without a quickening of the heart.
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?
Make the effort to quicken someone's heart today by mailing them a letter to assure them that they are not forgotten!
