About this tool
An unsent letter is a well-known way to process feelings toward someone: you write to them fully and honestly, and you do not send it. Choose who it is for, add your own words if you like, and let the tool help you shape a letter that is for you alone.
Tips for getting the most from it
- Add your own sentences in the box. They are the most important part.
- Read the finished letter aloud, then decide what to do with it.
- Delete or keep it. Either is fine.
