In today's electronic world we are learning to communicate through the Email, voice mail, telephone etc. Hardly anyone has the time or inclination to write flowery letters...

One way of recapturing romance is to get back to the lost art of writing love letters. It has been said that love letters contain words that are the most often kept and the most often burnt. They can move your love for a special russian woman to the next level of intimacy. But what makes a love letter special is that it will never wither away like a rose nor will its fragrance ever fade. You can preserve it forever. Believe it or not, there is no replacement of love letters. It is a signature of personal touch.

When you decide the time is right to express your feelings for that special woman, follow these basic rules on how to write a love letter and how to make it successful:

• Handwritten letters are becoming a rarity in our technological world. Writing a letter with a pen is much more romantic and will leave a more lasting impression on your love than if it was written with a computer. And e-cards are not enough to make that lasting impression either. You can use email but it'll impersonalize the letter.



• If you need inspiration, try looking for it at your favorite art, literature and/or music. I bet some of your favorite songs are good examples of expressing love. Place a picture of your woman in front of you for added inspiration.



• It is OK to practice a bit and make a draft first. When you have written what you want to convey to your love, take out some nice stationery and write the final copy.
• The opening and closing of the love letter are very important as they set the tone for the entire letter.



• Start slowly. The letter you write should come from the heart. You don't need to be a professional writer to create a decent love letter, what is important in the letter is that you are sincere, honest, and caring. You can talk in the letter, get to know someone in a different way than just over a computer. It can gradually grow into shared intimacy and trust.



• Be impressive and let the passion flow. If you are poetic, open the gates. Your letter may be friendly, lovey-dovey, passionate, sensual or seductive. Use your creativity and imagination.
• Do not try to gain points by writing phony letters about such things as flowers, butterflies or something else that your russian partner may like. A love letter should state what you really feel, not what you think she may want to hear. Write AT LEAST three qualities about her that you love the most.



• Do not write about anyone else except you and the addressee in the letter.



• Spelling accuracy is an absolute must when writing any letter. Misspelled words are symbols of carelessness, which can distract your russian bride from your message.



• You should write with layman terms. Avoid large complicated words when a simple one will do.



• Above all, have fun with writing to the bride of your dreams. Think of the smile your letter would bring to your loved one.



• Always end the letter with thoughts and hopes for the future.
