Do you see how this could be confusing for your W?

She may feel guilty because you still want her in your life and she does not want to be... and THEN... she'll be ANGRY at you for making her feel guilty... and why, oh why, can you not just move forward and be happy... that's what she wants for herself and while she might say she doesn't care about you, she wants that for you, as well... because she does not want to feel guilty about not being in love with you...

Keep it simple, and keep emotions out of it. Go to your logical brain and leave your heart on the shelf for this letter...
