You have a generational clash here.

Old politicians notice receiving a hand-written letter.

Anybody under 20 has probably never written a letter in their life.
They hardly ever use email either. It takes too much time to structure
an email properly.
Texting, IM, Facebook provide the instant gratification they require.
