Do you still write letters ?

So, I have just written a letter, it's to someone I don't currently know. As I am at the caravan I don't have a computer or printer so I have had to write it by hand. On this occasion I didn't want to send an email or text message. Years ago I used to have several penpals all around the world ( in a time before texting was a thing ! Can you imagine ! ), so used to write and receive many letters. Now though, I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter. Made me wonder .....do you still write letters to people ? If you do, is it to friends and family or for business ?

I haven't written a letter anymore, the last time was around 2018 before entering the digital world.

I wrote one yesterday, but it was the first one I’d written in a very long time. It was a letter to encourage someone. I hope to get it to the post office Thursday.

I still write letters--as a matter of fact, I'm working on one now and will have two more to write afterward.

I write to people occasionally but mostly I try to type them out rather than hand-write. My hand-writing is pretty bad nowadays.

During fight, I still write letters when I cannot talk to my close ones ... I don't talk and I don't let them to talk. ..I write and I read. I let them to write and read ...That too in a formal way.
