Letters are for practice only: sealing saves a copy locally; no letters are sent or published. On shared devices, clear your draft after writing. Avoid putting private addresses or other sensitive details into letters to strangers.

Language-learning tip
Ask for a gentle correction
Copy a ready-made feedback request, then paste it into ChatGPT along with your letter. This page doesn't send your writing to an AI service.
- Ask what sounds natural, not only what is grammatically correct.
- Try rewriting just two sentences after reading feedback.
- Keep the meaning and personality of your original letter.

We recommend that adults 18+ begin with in-app messages, use a nickname when possible, and never post home addresses, identification, financial details, or sensitive documents publicly. Be cautious of anyone requesting money, gifts, or urgent personal help. Review each platform's safety and privacy rules before joining. We are not affiliated with the platforms listed above.
