SIR - I am a writer who is researching a book which will be published in 2008, and will consist of the last letters to loved ones before dying.

It will be an intimate, emotional, sensitive, homage to the person involved and I hope to include a photo of them and a biography.

I was wondering if I could ask your readers if they have any of these letters (past or present) and whether they would be interested in having them in a book.
