PS I love you! Hardly the most romantic way to write a love letter to your special person. But it is probably as far as some people go!

Have you seen the romantic comedy movie with Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank yet? The film, PS I Love You, shows a number of different ways romantic love letters can be used to show love. The very first way did not even feature a letter but was sent using a tape recorder and a special cake to celebrate her birthday.

Looking back over the centuries we know huge numbers of people have spent their time carefully crafting letters of love to their special partner. Have a look at my website LoveLettersCentral.com and see over 125 lovingly romantic letters written by famous and not so famous people. If you consider that letters only a few years would have needed to be written using a quill or feather dipped in ink to scratch the words on to parchment paper. Mistakes would have had to be carefully erased or starting the whole letter all over again. Nowadays we are more likely just to press the delete button on the keyboard. Yet huge numbers of those love letters of yesterday still exist today kept by the recipient possibly tied up in ribbon and carefully saved in a box or draw.

Are you doing something spectacular to show your loved one that you want them? Or is writing that simple phrase PS I Love You as an afterthought at the end of a letter or love note enough for you? Would you like to know how to make the most of your romantic thoughts to really impress your loved one and know they will treasure it?

We currently publish over 125 love letters some short, some long, in some cases we only publish extracts if the letters go on for several pages dealing with every day life issues. Each one of them could be taken by you and used in a number of different ways.

Did you know that one of my readers took a love letter straight off the site rewrote parts of it to include the color of her boyfriend's eyes, his warm cuddly and muscular arms etc and then wrote it out with one sentence on each of 10 sheets of paper. She then put them into separate envelopes with dates on them and handed them to her husband just as he was about to leave on a 10 day business trip with instructions to open each envelope only on the day marked on the outside. You can guess how much pleasure her husband had in getting that love letter each day and piecing it all together just before travelling back home to her.

Can you imagine his thoughts about her all the time away from her but with these strongly worded letters of passion being opened each day he was away. Do you think he would have been in more of a hurry to get home to her?

I propose we have a competition to get your head and heart working together. What is the most romantic unusual way you can use a love letter from yourself to someone else (or that someone sent to you). Remember you can send love letters in so many different ways, a mini disk, an MP3 file with you speaking your favourite love song or write it in the snow.

If you submit an entry to YouTube with a link back to our LoveLettersCentral.com website please write and let us know where to find your romantic love letter video so we can see as well as your very special person. Don't forget to let the friends of your special one know about it so they can go and watch it as well. Make them jealous!

We obviously want to use the very best entries received on our website and by entering you show you are giving permission to do so.
