2. chilly feet
already?
Let us guess: you’ve never written a love
letter to a stranger before. You’re choked
up on words already. Your knees are
trembling. You’re thinking, “But... But...
I don’t...”
RELAX.
You are in good, good hands. We court
strangers via love letter on a daily basis,
so you are learning from the best.
We promise.

3. what to wear,
what to wear...
First things first: you need stationery.
Doll up your letter as if it is going out on a first date. Skip the lipstick and
go for the lace... the nice pens... the best handwriting possible.
Your letter is going to meet a stranger today. It should look stunning for
the occasion.

4. fresh starts.
Some might call this the trickiest part...
how, oh how, do you start writing a love
letter to a stranger? Sometimes it feels
more natural to write the letter first and
then go back and address it.
solid suggestions:
to a friend,
to whoever finds this letter,
dear you,

5. the belly of your letter.
What kind of message would you script to a close friend? No need to
treat this love letter of yours any differently just because you don’t know
who will find it. Write what is on your heart. Script a note of
encouragement. Fill your letter with affirmations. Thoughts that are
weighing heavy on you lately. Write the exact message you’d like to read
in a letter today. Maybe it is a pick-me-up or a kind reminder that you
are enough in this world.

SAMPLES OF love
letters LEFT:
This isn’t a romantic letter— just a friendly reminder from me to you: you are loved, you are worth it, + your life will be a
wonderful adventure full of love.”
It is time for you to understand that you are uniquely you. You are striving to be like your best friend, a coworker, or
some ideal. But is this making you happy? You vainly try to run around to gather a more beautiful life, but look around!
You have so much at your fingertips.”
Take a moment to rediscover yourself. Rediscover how much you’re worth. While your heart may be broken to pieces
not only from big life altering things, but from small everyday things; while you may still be fragile to a certain degree—
you’re strong enough!”
This is a sweet little letter for YOU! I’m just like you. I have dreams and goals that I want to live out... but sometimes
life’s obstacles get in the way. Know that the challenges that you face will make you stronger and wiser.”
And maybe it seems silly, writing a note to a stranger on a bad day. And maybe it is silly. But if I’m having a bad day,
then I want you to have a good one. I want you to see how much you’re loved in this world.”

7. parting is such sweet
sorrow.
It is completely up to you whether you want to sign your name. Some
letter writers leave their first name, others sign “love, a friend,” and still
some like to be left anonymous.
All we ask is that you please (pretty, PRETTY please) omit your own
contact information.

8. find me if you can.
Write moreloveletters.com somewhere on your letter or envelope.
Make sure that it is legible so others can visit the site, read the mission,
and reach out to us about the letter.

9. letting go.
Find a place to leave your love
letter. Time to get creative.

STORIES OF love
letters found:
I found this love letter in the elevator of my apartment complex. It came at a perfect time in my senior year, a time
where everyone is stressing out about what they are going to do next with their life. After reading it, I felt a peace come
over me that I haven’t felt in a very long time. Love this movement, love those that participate in it, and will definitely
send a love letter in the near future to a stranger.”
I work for a college library, and I was making up a cart of books to be reshelved when I saw a bright green piece of
paper sticking out. Thinking a student left behind a bookmark or some notes, I pulled it out and found this lovely little
letter. I’ve been having a really rough October, and this letter reminded me that there are genuinely good people in the
world, that my sadness and frustration are temporary, and that everything will be okay.”
This is exactly what I needed after this week! I wish more of these would find their way to me. I’ve forgotten how much
I miss love letters, reading and writing them. So I find it ironic that this falls into my lap this morning out of the blue.
Especially after the rough week I’ve had. I want to thank whoever on campus wrote this, because it made my day.
Made my week more like it. So thank you for leaving these small wonders around for people to find because when
someone who could really use a love letter finds one out of nowhere, it really makes a difference.”

12. “It is a surreal feeling, to compose a
letter to an individual that you have
no ties to but at the same time you
want the whole world for them.
I wished them a bright day. A day
full of laughter. I told them they
were unique + special + really quite
smashing... Really, we are not told
enough how brilliant we are. How
intriguing and wonderful we are.
How much we should be
commended for waking up today
and deciding to take on the task of
being human. It is not an easy task.
It is not always fun. But it is wildly
worth it. Better that we write all
these things down.”
