In cities like Addis Ababa, 'ደብዳቤ መጻፍ' is increasingly digital, but the formal structure of the letter remains very traditional, starting with extensive well-wishes. In rural areas, letters are still a vital way to communicate with relatives in the city. The arrival of a letter is often a community event. The church has preserved the art of calligraphy and 'ደብዳቤ መጻፍ' for centuries, using Ge'ez for religious correspondence. Historically, 'የፍቅር ደብዳቤ' (love letters) were the only way for young people to express interest in a conservative society.
