"The Letter" is a song recorded by American country music artists Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn as a duet.
The song peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
She asks him to write a letter that affirms love and faithfulness, regret and willingness to repent under the guise that it would be seen by her current boyfriend (who, like the male protagonist was unfaithful) and that he would realize his mistake and that he had a good thing.
The B-side, "God Bless America Again," did not chart as a flip side or on its own, but still received significant airplay due to its release close to the United States Bicentennial.
This song still receives airplay today on classic country radio stations.
