Hilary Swank keeps the romance alive in her relationship by writing love letters.

The 33-year-old actress - who plays a young widow who discovers her late husband has left her 10 letters to help her through the grieving process in new movie 'P.S. I Love You' - believes putting pen to paper for your loved one means much more than an email or text message.

Hilary - who is dating her former agent John Campisi - said: "Of course I love writing and receiving love letters. I find in this email and texting age getting a hand written letter is really special. I think writing letters is a lost art, so nowadays it means so much more because it's so easy to communicate in so many different ways.

"A love letter can even be a little post-it note stuck in your pocket with a sentence or a few words."

Hilary - who split from her husband Chad Lowe in 2006 - also compared break-ups to death.

She said: "The film just has such a great love story and I think we can all relate to that. Finding love and losing love, even if it's not through death, even a break-up can feel like a death."
