When was the last time you received a hand written letter?

This may be a long one folks, maybe put the kettle on…

So this question has been prompted by @Janbb’s question on communication and availability (It is an excellent question, go have a look) and it got me thinking of letter writing because to be quite honest I can’t remember the last time someone wrote me a letter and no bank statements are not included.
I remember how great it felt to know that someone had sat down and thought about what they had to say to me, to the appearance of someone else’s handwriting on paper rather than virtual text on a screen. When I was younger I had a penpal in America and we would write together using different colour pens and send each other artifacts from our countries and I miss that dearly.
My question is to you when was the last time you recieved a letter? Do you in fact still recieve them? Or do you prefer the email culture?
Another suggestion I was contemplating was a Fluther penpal club, for everyone who likes the idea to put there names in and for everyone to get someone to write to, no letters of complete sillyness or anything x-rated there will be no moderators of this of course but of intelligence and humour of the simple need to tell someone something about yourself.
Or am I simply rambling and coming up with nonsensical ideas?
