That's just an abridged version of what I imagined the full letter woudl say. It still does exactly the same thing and still comes across as a bit needy and self-serving. She knows you love her, she knows you think your time together was great, and she knows you're hurting; you really don't need to tell her this all over again.
I still don't really understand why you're sending stuff back, but that's your call. If you must do it, accompany it with a note saying "Hi.......Here's all the stuff I said I'd send you back. All the best for the future. Bob"
That is it. Nothing else needs to be said.
I asked her if she wanted it back. She just said she did, so I guess I can just send it back.
Yeah, that seems fair. :)
From a female perspective it seems you're sending the stuff back as an excuse to keep in contact with her. If she wanted her stuff back why did she give them to you in the first place?
Like previously advised, cease ALL contact with her because again, saying you want to stay friends is a feeble excuse to stay in touch with her in the hope she'll change her mind one day. If she has genuinely made a mistake by ending the relationship she will soon realise and be back in touch with you. You sending her or her parents letters isn't going to influence her in the way that you want it to.
"if you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were"
