How many of you actually write letters to your villagers?

I recently found out my boyfriend actually sends letters to his villagers daily and I couldn't believe it lol! Writing letters in animal crossing has always been pain staking, so I wonder if people actually do it. The only times I do it are when I want them to wear a certain shirt. How frequently do you send letters? What do you usually write about? Why do you send letters?
 
Ill write them letters when they send me one, usually. Eventually, I would get a letter from Dizzy, Midge, and Zell, but I wouldn't make it to the post office in time so I would have 3 letters clogging my space. Now, I jst send letters occasionally. I send them bc their responses are adorable and I love reading them! I write in reply to what they say, so if Dizzy said that he had ice cream, I would reply "Why didn't you share some with me??"

Sadly I hate doing it with a passion and I'll only send them letters with clothing attached when they change into something ugly cause I hate that even more. But I have to say, I admire your boyfriend and Karminny's patience! XD
 
I used to send them legitimate letters all the time.

Now, though, I've gotten lazy and just say a line or 2 with an attached, random gift to make up for my lack of words.
 
I used to send them silly messages with things attatched hoping I would get something in return and sell/keep, but after they started making fun of my writing I stopped.
 
I would never send letters unless I'm painfully bored and I don't feel like doing much else.

That or I'm desperate for a foreign fruit or money and I can't be bothered to hit up the Retail board

I try to every day and send them little gifts i think they would like! Sometimes I forget or don't have time. I think it is cute when they show them back to you ;]
 
I honestly love writing letters to my villagers. It's really fun and cute--and sometimes I can vent a little and they don't mind. (:
 
I occasionally write my favorite villagers and send them gifts just for the fun of it. Usually nothing long unless it's the first letter, just a simple hi to them or something. :blush: And if I want a new villager to give me their picture. I've only gotten pictures from my villagers on April Fools day and my dreamies just recently moved in, so I'm hoping if I write them and give them stuff they'll give me a picture. :p
 
I don't write letters to my villagers everyday but when I do, it would be to answer a letter they felt like sending to me first, I noticed their room lacked furniture, or, something I saw in the shops reminded me of them so I would buy that to send along with a surprise letter. I can admit that I used to write letters to all of my villagers everyday in order to obtain all three badges for the good deed of writing letters.
 
On occasion I will send letters to anyone, unless I want to become "close friends" with a villager. I used to do it when I wanted to get rid of something I'd send them a letter with the item, but nowadays I just sell whatever I get and don't want. :p I've never gotten a picture from sending them mail, but I did get a picture after giving Pietro something for his house and then another from him when he moved away (so I have two of those or something lmbo). I also got a picture from Papi in the mail, but that was also his moving letter, so basically I've never gotten a picture from casual mailing.

Sometimes I don't think of sending mail though, or I forget to, so it's not an everyday thing, buuut... :p
 
I write to them if they have a certain item in their house that I want, so if they have a table that i want i would send them a different one in a letter so they swap it. Then I go and badger them until they give it to me hehe. Also it's supposed to make you better friends with them so they give you their pic.
 
I send them letters and I used to send them presents too, but then I got tired of them trying to sell me back furniture I gave them (they still do that with stuff they buy at re-Tail or that I trade with them, but whatever lol; it's hard for me to say no as irritated as I may get at them :p). Usually my letters are just "Hi. How are you?" or just "Hi;" but sometimes I write down what I'm feeling since I'm trying not to confide in my friends so much (my pessimistic thoughts) so I don't annoy them or burden them. I don't have to worry about burdening video game characters with my thoughts since they always are happy to get my letters. I know that sounds pretty lame. :/

I send them! I used to confess my inner secrets, until one time my villiger showed my friend *facepalm*
 
I do~ to all my villagers at least once a week or so.
Gives me something to do other than run around in circles xD
