* ''Literature/BabeRuthManTankGladiator'' is written by a 39th century priest in the style of a twenty-first century WebSerialNovel.

* Though the podcast ''Podcast/AliceIsntDead'' takes the form of a CaptainsLog recorded by a driver in the cabin of her truck, it's also a monologic epistolary. In her logs, the narrator speaks throughout as though she's addressing her wife, Alice, occasionally adding commentary that implies she expects Alice to listen through them if they reunite.
-->'''Narrator:''' I know what you're thinking, Alice. "This is intentional avoidance." I don't have to explain myself to you. But I will.

* [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Season six]] of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' begins [[OnceAnEpisode each episode]] with a dramatic reading of a memo from the Director of Project Freelancer to the Chairman of the Oversight Subcommittee, or vice-versa. Who writes to whom alternates between episodes, so each episode begins with a reply to the memo sent in the previous episode.

* ''Paper Cranes'' is written as this and a diary, as Ryuuko writes her letters to her passed-on IllGirl sister Satsuki in a diary that the latter had given her.

[[folder:Live-Action Film]]
* ''Film/CatsPlay'': A rare cinematic example. The bulk of the movie, at least two-thirds, consists of letters going back-and-forth between Giza and Erzsi. The letters are heard in voiceover, sometimes describing flashbacks, sometimes describing what is going on in the present day, like when Erzsi writes her sister a letter about how she confronted Viktor for cheating on her with Paula.

* "A Letter To Elise" by Music/TheCure is, presumably, a letter to Elise.

* "Stan" by Music/{{Eminem}} is framed as a correspondence between a fan ("Stan") and his favorite rapper. The letters Stan sends become increasingly psychotic, as he has never received a reply and is becoming convinced that the rapper believes himself to be too important to answer his letters. In the last verse, the rapper finally gets round to replying, begging Stan not to do anything stupid, but it's too late because Stan has [[DrivenToSuicide drowned himself]] along with his girlfriend and unborn child to teach the rapper a lesson. [[note]]The penultimate verse has Stan making a tape recording as he drives his car towards the river, telling the rapper what he plans to do, only to realise at the last second that he won't be able to mail the tape if he's dead.[[/note]]

* "Stan" by Music/{{Eminem}} is framed as a correspondence between a psycho fan ("Stan") and his favorite rapper.
