Yes, I was considering something similar. I wanted to give the letter to my mother and ask her to either send it (it would have address and post stamp already) or burn it. The point would be for her never to tell me what she did and that it would be absolutely up to her. It would be something like Schroedinger's cat: the letter would be send and destroyed at the same time with no way of knowing which came to be up until my mother decides to tell me.
Burning it myself seemed less fulfilling at first for me but I think I know how to make it so. This would almost turn this whole thing into kind of a ritual. My ex believed in magic, so it almost seems fitting to send her a letter this way.
At any rate burning it is much better idea than sending it and opening Pandora's Box. And it should still bring me some closure. I know it will.
For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
