You've been secretly liking this guy/girl since formerly and finally had the courage to send a love letter. You want every detail of the letter to be as perfect as possible. When writing it. Don't forget to pay attention to how to “end it”! A good letter ending is like a decorative ribbon that enhances a gift - sometimes, it can take your love life to another level.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing How to End the Letter
Step 1. When in doubt, choose something simple with a closing remark or two
The "closing" or "end" of the letter is the part written before the sender's name, and serves to say goodbye. The most common examples are “With Love”, “Sincerely”, “Greetings”, etc. If it's hard to find the perfect cover letter, go for something short and sweet. There are many short, but impressive cover letters.
-
Idea:
"With Love," "Yours Alone," "Full of Love," "Yours Always," "Stay Healthy,"
-
Use it when:
You want to look elegant. You should end the letter in a simple and classic way. You have such a long-term relationship with him that too much afterwords will look "fake."
-
Do not use when:
You want to look creative. You're feeling emotional and want to show it in a letter. Your partner complains that you are "too far away".
Step 2. Use adverbs as a closing
One common way of ending a letter is to use an adverb phrase. At the end of a letter, this phrase is usually used to indicate how the sender felt while writing the letter or while waiting for an answer. For love letters, you should usually choose an adverb phrase that shows you care about the person, as well as a desire to receive something in return.
-
Idea:
“Expecting your reply”, “Expectingly waiting for you”, “So expecting a reply”, “Sincerely.”
-
Use it when:
You want to convey your feelings clearly and simply.
-
Do not use when:
You just got into a relationship with him. This can make the letter seem too cliché or too formal.
Step 3. Insert a little humor
Do you want your written love letter to look too stiff and boring? Inserting a little humor can turn a serious-looking love letter into an interesting read. In this case, the afterword is “last shot”. In other words, the closing part of the letter is the last chance to make the reader laugh. So, make sure to close the letter well!
-
Idea:
"Two-finger salute," "Don't Cry," "Written with a Twistling Stomach," "Yours, it seems," "Oh my gosh, I'm beautiful".
-
Use it when:
You want to make him more cheerful. You want to write a light, fun letter. This method can make the reader feel good, as well as take the pressure off of writing the perfect letter.
-
Do not use when:
You can't find the right joke. The he will feel you are not serious with your relationship. You will only fight with him.
Step 4. Show sincerity
Love letters can be a medium to convey feelings towards someone. This is an opportunity to express the heart. So, if your emotions are bubbling, take this opportunity to pour them all out.
-
Idea:
“I've never felt this before,” “I need you”, “You are the one”, “You perfect me.”
-
Use it when:
You believe the two of you have a strong emotional bond.
-
Do not use when:
You're not 100% sure how serious your relationship is. This can turn into something awkward and embarrassing if he doesn't feel the same way.
Step 5. If you're brave, don't be afraid to write something heartwarming or affectionate
Love letters are a great way to express affection with people who share your feelings for you. However, make sure you are in a relationship with him. Don't use this when expressing love for the first time - you could scare the person reading it.
-
Idea:
"Your sweetheart," "XOXOXO," "Warm Hugs," "Kisses,"
-
Use it when:
You want to appear warm, loving, or funny. Your partner may need some entertainment.
-
Do not use when:
Your partner feels you are too dependent on him. You want him to respect you more.
Step 6. Use a joke that only the two of you can understand
One of the best ways to show that you are serious about writing a letter is to choose a “only you and the other person” ending. Not only is it a great opportunity to make jokes, you can also get in touch with the reader in an instant.
-
Idea:
"Want some more fries?" "Don't forget to report it in your assignment," "Not too bad, right".
-
Use when:
You want to look funny and creative. You want to show a non-physical effort to your partner. You want to remind him of the memorable times you two spent together.
-
Do not use when:
You don't have many memories with him yet. This certainly seems strange if the he does not understand the joke.
Method 2 of 3: Choosing a Visual Style
Step 1. Use cursive letters
A “classic” love letter is a passionate note written with a feather or pen on parchment. Even if it's hard to write a "Romeo and Juliet" letter like this, you can still leave a bit of a classic feel by writing a curvy closing salutation. Letters that are written in large and form a circle will give a classic feel that accentuates the romantic effect of the letter.

- If you want to write your name in cursive, you have to write each letter carefully, not sign it right away. Make sure the reader recognizes your writing.
Step 2. Add the heart and “love” symbols as much as you can
Show your readers how you feel (and show your cute side) by putting cute love symbols at the end of the letter. The heart symbol is the most commonly used, but if you want you can use the male/female symbol, wedding ring, rose, etc. - choose what you like.
There is no “right” way to do this. However, you can generally draw a little heart symbol instead of a dot on the lowercase “i” and “j”
Step 3. Try using large, prominent letters
If you have the time and energy, you can go a step further by bringing out your artistic side. Draw each letter (if you're in a hurry, just draw the first letter) in as much detail as possible. You can add pictures of plants, animals, or other objects as part of the text - do as you please!

Step 4. If you are typing a love letter, use a dramatic font
Not all letters are written by hand. In fact, most letters today are typed on a computer. However, this doesn't mean you can just use flat text like Times New Roman. Use a fancier font to show your creativity and lettering beauty - most typing software comes with some cool fonts.
- Here are some of the fonts in the latest edition of Microsoft Office software that you can use: Blackadder, Bradley Hand, Brush Script, Colonna, Kunstler Script, Parchment, and Vivaldi Italic.
- You can also download fonts online if you don't find one you like. Websites like 1001fonts.com offer more than 200 types of cursive fonts.
Method 3 of 3: Showing Creativity
Step 1. Eliminate your name to send anonymous mail
Looking for a truly unique cover letter? The unique suggestions in this article will make your letter look more interesting. For example, you may want to send letters anonymously. The reader will be confused and curious to find out who the sender is - you can unmask when you're ready.
One variation of doing this is to write the name as usual, then truncate it. Save a piece of paper with your name on it and give it to the reader a few days later as a surprise
Step 2. End the letter in a foreign language
Can you speak foreign languages? Using another language can give a different impression to the cover letter. You can translate your native language into a foreign language, use expressions in another language, or use something completely unique.
- Omniglot, an online language encyclopedia, has translations of the word “I love you” in different languages.
- It would be great if the foreign language used was Italian or French &mdash these languages were nicknamed “Language of Love”.
Step 3. Draw something next to the cover letter
You don't have to look for "reasons" to include something at the end of a letter. If you're good at drawing and have a cool idea to put something in the cover of a letter, go for it. Most people will appreciate the time and effort spent on detailed sketching, or simply trying it out, even if the context doesn't match the content of the letter. Here are some things you can draw:
- A wide variety of animals (ideally an animal the reader likes)
- Plants (see above)
- Logo/emblem (original or artificial)
- Cartoon/comic/color drawing (doodle)
- Self-portrait or photo of the reader (be careful - if this is the first love letter you are sending to the reader, this could be considered too "exaggerated")
Step 4. Insert pieces or other personal items
Another thing to add to the end of a letter is something special to the reader - in other words, a gift. The gift in question can be in any form, but we have compiled a variety of ideas for objects that are easy to tuck or put at the end of the letter.
- Magazine cut with personal meaning
- Dried leaves or flowers from locations you've been to together
- Some of my favorite poems
- Fortune cookie filling
- Cinema tickets or events you attend together
- A photo of you, a photo of him, or a photo of the two of you
