I made a simple open-source letter editor inspired by Animal Crossing NH. Took me forever to look over each card, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. You can even click the bottle in the bottom right to see a random letter design shared by other users! Now to see how long it stays up...

An older version (and lots of other pixel-perfect customisable screens) is also available from the Death Generator: https://deathgenerator.com/#acww

To be fair that's not the same at all. This one looks like the message boxes that appear during gameplay, while the submission is only about the letters you can send/receive in the game.

They complement each other nicely though.

Thank you for sharing that! I had originally started this project with the intention of making an editor for the "mail" from Pokémon G/S/C before I decided to focus on Animal Crossing instead. It's cool to know that I'm not the only one interested in that sort of thing, but shame that they never added the mail from that game.
