Rekindling a friendship

I posted a while ago about my ex best friend who ended our friendship 2 months ago, most likely due to restrictions with her job.

Even after she blanked me for 2 months and then told me the day before results day that she didn't want our friendship to continue when I left for uni, I don't feel angry anymore and feel like I want to give things another shot. Even though she said she doesn't want to be friends anymore I'm thinking about contacting her again at the end of the month with a computerised lettter which says, "I miss you." I don't know that she'll reply but I feel that I have to try because I really do miss her, and I don't think anyone else could replace her.

What do you think?

I'd still leave it a while, as it's not been very long.
I've managed to rekindle friendships that died, but those were both after periods of 5 years and 10 years respectively.
It doesn't mean you'll necessarily need that long before the friendship has any chance of being successfully started up again; however, it seems that your friend may need a bit more time for her to have given you such a drastic reaction in the summer.

I don't think it's worth doing really. If she's made it clear that she doesn't want to be your friend anymore, there's nothing you can do about it. She probably won't have changed her mind this quickly.

Rekindling friendships normally only works when you're the friends who've drifted apart over the years, not when one person has made it clear they don't want to be friends anymore.
