Is Letter Writing Dead?

Could it be that modern technological times could be fading away letters? I think not. Many important once-in-a-lifetime moments require letters; such as, approval for enlisting into the army, congratulations for being accepted to a prestigious university, final notices... Although modern times are pushing to go faster letters are meant to be pauses in the rush. Letters carry with them an imposing importance not only because they are 2-Dimensional, but because they have structured formats and sometimes carry a signature. To send a letter requires time and effort both of these requirements give a letter the importance. Letters ask the reader to pay attention to their content.
