Contexto cultural
The 'Shahnameh' (Book of Kings) is the most famous 'Nameh' in Persian history. It's an epic poem that saved the Persian language. In Dari Persian, 'Nameh' is also used, but in formal contexts, 'Makaataba' is very common due to heavy Arabic influence in administrative language. Tajik Persian uses the Cyrillic script, so 'Nameh Neveshtan' is written as 'Нома навиштан'. The cultural importance of poetry in letters remains high. In the Ottoman and Mughal courts, Persian was the language of 'Insha' (the art of composition and letter writing). A 'Munshi' was a professional letter writer.
Verb Stem
Remember the present stem is 'nevis'. So 'I write' is 'mi-nevis-am'.
Don't use 'kardan'
Never say 'Nameh kardam'. It sounds like you 'did' a letter, which is nonsensical in Persian.
