I did the unthinkable over the weekend Jan 23, 2011
I hand wrote 5 letters to friends and relatives. Real letters not just "notes". They's be surprised when they get them as no one I know ever writes letters anymore (e-mail, facebook, tweeter, you name it). And frankly, I can't recall ever doing it (other than "thank you" notes - and some of those written by parents with only my signature).

When was the last time you sent a handwritten letter...

I must admit that it took me a while although I used to have very nice handwriting but lack of use...

I truely love getting nicely handwritten application letters. Means they put effort in it, try to be special and most of all can actually write. SMS-style emails are the other opposite.

Perhaps a handwritten anything would be acceptable with some agency dealing in creative talent, but in the mainstream sectors it would be received with laughter and contempt, IMHO

Was that by using three fingers vertical instead of just two?
