How to Write a Digital Love Letter
This is a simple framework to write a digital love letter that actually lands. Build it in minutes with the JM4Y Creator or skim the Creator Guide first.
The 4-part structure
Use this lightweight outline. It keeps you honest and makes your message flow.
- Hook One line that feels like you. Example: “You walked in with that stupid smile and my day reset.”
- Memory A tiny story with details. One scene is enough. Example: “When we missed the train in Zug and ate fries on the floor.”
- Why it matters Connect the memory to a feeling or promise. Example: “You make small moments feel like the point.”
- Close Keep it warm and specific. Example: “Playlist below is our summer in three songs. See you Friday.”
Pro tip Write it in your voice. Short sentences. No clichés. If you wouldn’t say it out loud, don’t type it.

Quick checklist before you share
- Does the first line sound like you?

- Did you connect it to why it matters?
- Is there a small surprise block? Image, song, or countdown.
- Read it out loud once. Fix anything that feels stiff.

How long should it be?
Anywhere from 6 to 12 lines is perfect. Quality over length.
