To add to the lunacy, just add [[Playing Cyrano|a ghostwriter who may or may not have feelings for the recipient himself]].

Line 39:
** A few episodes later, Tenma is watching a period drama, and gets the wonderful idea to shoot a love letter at Karasuma with a bow and arrow. She follows him across town as he nonchalantly dodges every attack, unintentionally makes Harima parody ''[[The Matrix (Film)|The Matrix]]'', and follows Karasuma into a bank just in time to FOIL A BANK ROBBERY.
* Tomari from ''[[Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl]]'' gets love letters from other girls. This is very much to her dismay, even though she does fall in love with her old childhood buddy Hazumu after he changed into a girl.
* In ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', Yukari brings up a love letter whenever Nyamo looks to be about to dish some dirt on her. What exactly happened with this love letter [[Noodle Incident|is never clarified]], although [[Fanon]] generally states that Nyamo wrote it to Yukari at some point as part of a [[Romantic Two
* There's a deliberate contrast in ''[[Powerpuff Girls Z]]'', as Miyako (Bubbles) undergoes daily [[Love Letter Lunacy]] (she doesn't mind), while Momoko the Love Lunatic (Blossom) gets none. Karou (Buttercup), meanwhile, is at one point shown with an [[Instant Fanclub]] (all girls).
* In ''[[Lucky Star]]'', Kagami appears to get one. Turns out the guy just wanted a trinket that would be embarrasing to ask for in public.
* In ''[[Princess Tutu]]'', Ahiru's friends write a love letter ostensibly from her to Fakir (partly to save her the trouble, partly because they're [[Jerkass|jerkasses]]). Luckily, Ahiru gets a chance to explain (and Fakir's reaction is exactly how she predicted it would be from the start).
* In ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'', Hiro did receive a love letter from an unnamed upperclassman {{spoiler|and she calmly rejected him}}. The one who got nuts was, however, Sae, who [[Romantic Two
* ''[[Noir]]'' has Kirika's 'daisuki na Mireille', which spurs Mireille to {{spoiler|agree to an alliance with Breffort, go to the Manor, and rescue Kirika from herself.}}
* In ''[[Zettai Karen Children]]'', Kaoru tends to get love letters from girls--which she finds troublesome, since she prefers older women. The other two girls get ''loads'' more love letters though.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', [[Bratty Half Pint|Eiko]] got help from the Doctor Tot to write a love letter to [[The Hero|Zidane]], and when hung on a peg she's forced to ask Baku to deliver it to Zidane. Baku accidentally drops it and forgets to mention the whole thing to Zidane. This leads to [[Action Girl|Beatrix]] believing the letter is from [[Lord Error
** The music that plays during that scene is even entitled, "Foolproof Love Letter Scheme." A nice alternate title for the trope, I might add...
* In ''[[Persona 4]]'', the protagonist will receive love letters in his shoebox if he does good at tests, usually containing some useful item or other that a secret admirer has made for you. {{spoiler|And if you think it's one of your [[Love Interest|Love Interests]] who did it, you're in for a shock later...}}. As the Fortune Social Link reveals, Naoto is also plagued by these on a regular basis ('plagued' because the detective prince has better things to do than play around with romance).
