    It would definately work, the downside with letters is that you can't see their first reaction, aside from that I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be a good way to tell them. :slight_smile:

    This is a good way to avoid a direct confrontation which can sometimes lead to strong reactions and allows them to process it as they see fit. Indeed it also allows you to say something afterwards like "did you read my letter?" and "so what did you think?" if you so choose. So I think it's great.
