Is it a bad idea to write a letter to a girl I'll probably never see again?

Anonymous

I had a coworker who was quitting, and I knew it was coming up, but I dropped the ball on telling her how I feel. I think someone else asked her out though, but as far as I knew, he had a girlfriend, so I don't know.

She has done so much for me, more than she realizes. I think I'm genuinely in love with her, so I can't let go that I never told her anything. I think she may have liked me before, but no longer does. She has said things that seemed to hint at it, but I'd just get tongue-tied and just say yeah or nothing at all.

I have another coworker that occasionally sees her outside of work, though. I was thinking of writing her a letter telling her how I feel. Would this be a bad idea? If I do do it, how much should I really say? I'll probably never see her again, so I want her to know, but I don't want the letter to come across as desperate or anything.
