Samara O’Shea is single handedly attempting to bring letter writing back. In her edgy book about letter writing in the 21st century, she gives us tops on how to write for different purposes: love letters, erotic letters (I needed to open a window reading that chapter), break-up letters – even cover letters! For the Love of Letters publishes actual examples of letters, emails, and even yearbook signatures, making the reader laugh, cringe, and relate to everything.

Samara (whose name rhymes with Sahara, for those of you that are interested) has been writing letters all her life. Now she’s offering you her services! If there is a letter that you need to write, go to www.letterlover.net, tell her your story, and for a nominal fee, she will write the letter for you!

Sexy Samara, Harper Collins, and ASL are running a little contest. Simply send an email to contest@socialitelife.celebuzz.com with the subject line “Letter Lover” by Thursday, April 26, 2007 at midnight EST. Five winners will be chosen at random to receive an autographed copy of For the Love of Letters, along with a fun stationery and pen set! Winners will be announced on Friday, April 27.
