I'm with Corny on this one. Whilst your ambition is admirable Em, I don't think this is the medium for epistolary genius.
If emoticons resolve ambiguity, allow your piss take to be seen as that and not a personal affront then they are useful.
A favourite quote of mine that may or may not be relevant: 'If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter' - Blaise Pascal. Either way, I love the sentiment of this and believe in it wholeheartedly.
