I Believe Good Manners Is Not Old Fashioned
Am I the only person left, who longs for the return of the good old fashioned handwritten letter? The personal touch of a handwritten letter, be it a love letter or letter of condolence, is so much more effective than an email or type written letter.
As somebody, who as a teenager and into his 20s, used to be very easily tongue tied and developed a slight stammer in more romantic face to face conversations, I found the hand written letter a good way to say, but still in a personal way, what I could never say face to face.
I used to cherish that the handwritten love letters I received had been handled by my girlfriend; that in writing it her hand had been all over the paper and that it had the distinctive smell of her perfume. It gives you a real connection to the writer.
