Perhaps I was also not clear. I meant it would be a funny surprise if YOU gave the letter to her, but it was still from your friend. You just have to be sneaky enough not to elude to the fact that your not the one who wrote the letter.

Put yourself in the girl's shoes. I know that if I got that letter from a girl (or - if they go that way - a guy) I would probably think that he/she was pretty wierd rather than the sort of person I'd be interested in "dating".
There's too much information there. It sounds like he's fawning - like he's babbling incoherently because he's too nervous to put anything down concisely. Also, he seems to be aiming at the "pity" angle a bit too much with all that self-depreciation (whether it's tongue-in-cheek or not). Not a good idea.
Tell him to write something that's to the point and vague enough to be mysterious. Something along the lines of:
Dear X,
I'm Y, you may know me from class Z. I'm just writing this note to ask you if you would like to go out with me on Friday, because I'm too shy to ask you in person. It's no big deal if you don't want to, but I thought it'd be great to catch up after school's finished. My number is blah and my e-mail is blah.
xoxo

There. Nice and casual, too the point, and it leaves the girl wondering what sort of person you really are (mystery is good at the first stage of dating). The letter he wrote makes him sound desperate and a tad peculiar. No offense to your friend, of course, I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I just can't see his love letter "wooing" anyone.
Having said all that, is it worth pointing out that he has a better chance of success if he - y'know - asks her face to face? I mean, he's going to have to speak to her on the date, so what's the big deal about speaking to her a few days beforehand?

ATTENTION ALL!!!
Okay Guys thanks for helping my friend Patrick out!!! This is what's going to happen. He is still going to send the letter. However, he has made the necessary changes based on all the help that you guys have given him, except for the few of you that said not to send it at all.
I just talked to Patrick and he wants to thank everyone on this thread. He also wants to let you know that he is friends with her and the chances of being friends with her after giving her the letter is great. It's safe to say that not all will be lost.
He has agreed to tell everyone on this thread the result of what will happen, which will be posted here in this thread as soon as he finds out from her. He will give the letter to her 9 hours from the time this was posted. So for all of you curious people out there, keep coming back here for all the details. Again, thanks for all your help.

By "Your friend Patrick", do you mean "You"?
And don't write "lol" in the letter for christ's sake.

This is a Joke right ? That letter sucks ass , if i was a girl id prob laugh my arse off for about 5 years then die of laughter , i hope she a comical side coz id love to see her face when she reads that, id steal a poem off the net a real touchy one and leave your cell number at the bottom , with a few kisses and a name, more on the current letter, you say that your not good looking and that you dont have a big dick a girl does not want to hear that unless she is marilyn chambers, u mention words like shit these arn't shakespears words are they, u mention a beach , thats quite good as a beach is quite sexual but you mention Mcdonalds the root of all evil of take aways also too commercial , u say your sooooooooo lonely , jesus u have to think that u may be a looser and have no friends why else would u be lonely. just go and talk to her ffs, fucking amatures

Give her that letter and he's got two hopes of getting a date.....and one of them is bob
In essence a letter seems a good idea,it can be romantic if written properly.However it's more appropriate when you actually know the person and as a first approach he'll struggle,especially as he is writing it to avoid face to face rejection.Read Renegades post again.He seemed to make a lot of good points.Anyways go for the direct approach,far higher chance of success.
Good Luck,

I was gonna say the same thing. It would be like shooting yourself in the foot, dammit...

rofl, is that a nickname? don't know much russian but i know what that means...
Anyway about the chances of success... I'd say it has an excellent chance of succeeding if she is really ugly and lonely too. But if she is the average gurl, she would probably be more impressed (and amused) if the guy asks her in person.
If he had more time he could've used *anonymous* letters (secret admirerererer stuff) to intrigue her before approching her.
Btw, I love the mcdonald's touch...
Oh, P.S.: I hope that's not his reall email address cause that's just gonna fill his mail box with so many interesting offers...
