Letter writing

[poliwag0]

"Tabby, I hate you because you're ugly. Please kill yourself. Once you do that, have a closed casket funeral."

I also send my other villagers my evil plans to kill Tabby.

Just write something long, or try and reply to their message
e.g: "Thank you for your letter!! And thank you for your lovely gift, how did you know that I like that? Here's a gift in return"

 

[keybug55]

All I would say to my villagers is just

"Hi."

or if I'm trying to cycle villagers

"Move out please. Thank."

It doesn't matter, but you should put something nice for their first letter

 

[aimeekitty]

Thank them for something they gave you, compliment them on their house decoration or something they do often, etc.

 

[Amalthea]

I always start the letter with an alliterative title, like "Darling Diana" or "Dandelion Deirdre", and then I write about the present I'm attaching, ask them how they're doing, tell them a funny story about a villager, say we should hang out soon, etc. I basically talk to them like I would a real life friend, haha. I always attach gifts like clothing I think they would like or furniture that matches their house.

 

[itzafennecfox]

I've always responded to what they said in their last letter.

 

[Bigkid]

Thank you everyone for your replies, I've now got a few more ideas on things to write.

 

[Darumy]

[kite]

I send jocks letters of challenge like "Surprise! I challenge you to a race!" or something.

For peppies, I send encouraging letters. "Chase your dreams!"

For crankies, I send thank yous. "Thanks for the (item)! I really like it!"

For normals, I send scenarios. "I think you'd make a good hula dancer!"

Etc.

 

[Sidewalk]

"hi Molly, You are over due for a hug today, come quick!!!"

 

[bellafez]

I very rarely get creative and write actual letters - normally they get a mismash of song lyrics, random questions (often about other villagers) and lines from this podcast called Welcome to Night Vale which was what I named my town after. If I can't even think of anything like that, I send them 'You're so cute!' Or 'Please wear this'. I try to do correct grammar though.

 

[Saphy]

Well, you can write pretty much anything, even if it's just a bunch of random words thrown together. They don't know the difference, lol.

 

[Yui Z]

I type completely randomly, but with grammar. xD I can't stand to not, at LEAST, try and use it. (Unless I'm texting to a real life person) but I guess if you want it done quickly, then you could just spam them with single words.
I prefer typing properly though.

 

[Sorgatani]

It's been some time since I wrote many letters, I remember writing down some of my more 'creative' efforts.
"Dear Curlos
Welcome to Lancre. We like
mutton a lot in these parts,
so you should fit right in the
oven, uh, I mean, the town.
Here is a seasoning, I mean,
welcoming present for you."
(I think I actually attached an oven to that one, but I laughed every time he showed me that letter. I also wrote Rasher a letter about how happy I was that he was there, "because we'd recently run out of mutton and poultry")

In RainDrop I ended up writing my animals a lot of letters about feeding them to Chief.

Dear Pippy
I noticed you were ill today; I
hope you feel better soon. I
got you a Durian, because I
think of you whenever I
smell them. Know what?
I think of you whenever I catch a bass.

Dear Mac
I am glad you liked the gift I
sent you. Did it take your mind
off the destruction of your
town and friends? They are
not coming back, so you'd
better enjoy this present too.

(The first letter I sent him was all about how his town collapsed and everyone he knew was dead - I got him from a friends' void shortly before my friend reset his town)

Problem is, it got easier to just be generic.

Dear X.
I was shaking trees today,
and this thing fell on my head.
The emotion it induced
Strongly reminded me of
Every conversation I've ever had
with you, my friend

(actually I haven't sent that one, I just composed it now)
I mostly write ones like

"Hello, how are you?
I'm good, I am listening to
music, it makes me happy.
Here is a present, because
you are my good friend.
I hope you like it."

And similar.

I did compose one entirely of random non-sequiturs once, I even included 'banana hammock'.
As far as I'm aware, that villager never noticed, and wrote back about how much he loved my letter (or the present it contained)

 

[mousehole]

I thought I read in a post that there were key words you can use in your letters.. please, gift, thank you , villagers name. fun, hello and play.
The post suggested that they increased the value of the letter in terms of return gift and friendship gained.

 

[jolokia]

You know what? I'm going to test that.

PHOEBE PHOEBE PHOEBE FUN PLAY PLAY FUN. GIFT? PHOEBE THANK YOU PLAY.
Reckon I'll get a pic?

 

[dizzy bone]

I regret sending them random one liner letters because it looks so stupid when they bring it up months later... So now I send them letters with random movie quotes or funny sayings, or "future self" memos, just to make it more entertaining for myself in the future.
