For a start, ::marketing mode::
Initiating to her your interest in her is a right move - but not to
scare her away by telling her you love her(keep your deepest
feelings in the safe)
How would you feel if out of nowhere, a girl comes up to you one
day and tell you she has a strong liking towards you.
My guess is, you'll freak out and stay away.
That's not the way we should approach mentioned above.
Attention - You can introduce yourself, thru MSN or face to face ;
i feel that letter writing is the lost art of communication, it
should be interesting but keep it short and enticing.
You mentioned she likes reading:fantasy genre?
I guess she's a book person and prefer reading good writings.
Say something or write in a way which could grab her
attention.
If she's receptive, good for you. If she's not, find out why rather
than feeling like a loser and walk away rejected. (You're not
rejected unless she walk away from you without ending off
positively)
Desire - It is good to express your intention to - know her
better/you admire her/ positive relationship. Pls say it
indirectly...girls take subtle hints and they know what is going
on.
Be controlled and discipline, don't go crazy over her for goodness
sake.
Anyway, she'll appreciate if you display your honesty.

Personal advice:
You cared too much about your success. Or should i say your past
'failure' seemed to cripple you from advancing.
If you'll learn not to care so much and just do it.
Remember, you haven't got what you didn't start. There is nothing
to lose.
You may perform better than the former.
Further questions:
What else do you notice about her?
Dress sense
Make up?
Personality
Activities in school?
Religous?
etc.
