After read those usage of 信, my interest in writing a letter is aroused. See 信手拈来, what are you afraid of? Don't try to be error free, feel the pleasure of it instead of pressure...
See 信马游缰, feel that your horse is galloping, you do it right off as riding.
At the dark age of the CR, 信 is both beneficial and dangerous. People's freedom of correspondence was deprived. One of my relative told me his story: his nightmare started by a letter, and finished by a letter, an appeal letter. I recall my love story in the past, xi, xi...
I worked at an unit where female are not minority...well, I stop here. and talk to my urgent topic---a business letter. I wrote two letters to VIPs, a secretary of defense and a vice president, and both replied me, letting me to paint their portraits. That was a decade ago. Now I lost some aggressiveness, a letter to a leader was delayed for several months, although my hesitation is that I should have a book ready to be convinced. From today I'll start a letter campaign, say a hundred or more letters. That sum is not big, but it will take me a long time to do it. The first is at a local level, I'll state my purpose, budget. There are many grants available, I'll try couple of them, and leave some after my first book published. My book serial will be at least six.
