I'd suggest writing the letter. Take your time and put a lot of thinking into what you want to say and how you want to say it. Write it all in a draft, put it away someplace safe then come back to it a day or to later to see how it reads. Writing a letter will be much more effective and a lot less awkward. Good luck!
