I really don't bother to write anything worthwhile when sending villagers letters because there's no point.
The only person that'll see it is yourself and any others that talk to your villagers.
i always used to write to lucky and he would write back and send me nice clothes in the mail. towards the end of the last winter i had him around, he sent me a peacoat and i wore for like all four days until the snow was gone ; ;
The only time I'll write letters is if I'm forced to, (via tutorial or a badge) or if I'm sending one of my villagers some furniture/clothing to change into.
I used to send them legitimate thoughtful letters when I first started playing, now I only write them if i want them to change clothes or display a certain item in their homes, with a word or two maybe. But I always make sure the first letter I send them looks good, with a nice stationery and manually centered text, because I know they're gonna shove it in my face ten times a day lol.
I always write letters, especially in New Leaf. I write nice things to the villagers I like and not-so-nice things to the villagers I don't like. It's always entertaining when they move to a friend's town and my friend reads their weird letters!
It's also a good way to get rid of stuff I don't want but don't feel like selling.
I actually write a legitimate letter of welcome to villagers who move in
And I write letters everday with words friends friend presents in the lines and send them furniture I dont need that I think suits the house of the villagers.
Villagers are very kind to me in the end. They actually send me legit stuff and some sell me legit paintings. And they give me stuff too.
Or maybe Im just thinking theyre nice to me because of the letters but it is part of my daily routine to send those lined letters. Every day between 9am to 5pm

Oh yeah and if I hate a villager I still send them letters like 'I dont really like you but hey you are welcome here in Fairy Town nonetheless' (Im looking at you Bubbles my only hated villager so far)
I've actually started to send my villagers more recently. I have found that I quite enjoy it actually. I write to villagers about something relevant. For example, I see that Fauna keeps placing flowers and watering them (she even plants hybrids), so I sent her a letter thanking her for her great contribution to our town and complimenting her great gardening skills.
When I play Ac I try to send letters to my villagers daily but I'm too chaotic and sometimes lazy for that ^^
But when I write them I don't write some random things which make no sense, I try to write a nice and real letter and talk with them over life and other things go through my mind.
Yes, I knwo that my villagers don't understand what I write but I think it's anyway a nice touch
And I hope to get a photo but it doesn't work well beacuse I do it a short time daily and then a few months no longer.
I actually write them genuine letters. Maybe that's odd, but I like developing the friendships with villagers. When they are sick, I wish them well and send presents. When I come over to their house (after being invited), I thank them for having me over, etc. I'm currently tryino to befriend villagers for their pictures. This past weekend I was at a convention and did not keep my 3ds with me. My favorite villager atm moved out, Chester the panda bear. ;_; I cherish the letters he sent me in my saved box. Same for Stitches, who was a starting villager a year and some change ago. I regret having them both move out from neglect. u__u
