How to write a love letter

Mastery of language: If you feel the need to write your love letter in a language different from yours then before writing it master the language. Learn the dos and don’ts of writing a love letter in that language.
Learn etiquette: While it is alright to use mushy language in writing a love letter you’d need to keep in mind that you don’t overdo it. You may avoid words that can make your love letter vulgar and upset the recipient, especially, if you are at the initial stage of your romance.
