 I agree with all the NAY Sayers. A "love" letter to a person you aren't even dating... is well, not the smartest thing.
A LOVE letter is a letter a person write to SOMEONE they love, someone they know (at least enough to ask them out).
If you don't want to scare her off, JUST ask her out without all the gimmicks.

 No, you don't need to write a love letter to this girl whom you haven't even ever asked out . Just ask her out and take it from there.
A love letter from a perfect stranger has many chances to be seen as corny and OTT , if not downright creepy. Of course it is also true that a young girl like this may also be flattered ,very flattered. But, if she is an intelligent girl, - only until the moment when she realizes you haven't even gone out togetherr ONCE , so basically you don't know her from Adam, and your being in love with " her " amounts in fact to being in love with the mental images and ideas that you have about her - a fantasy that may , or may not, be close to who she is IRL.

Personally, I would just ask her face to face, because at least then you'll get a reply. I remember once, when I asked a guy out by note, but i got no response ....But if you really just want to send her a love letter, something like:"Dear (her name),I really like you, and I'd like to take you out some time. (give her the reason why you didn't just ask her face to face)So would you like to go out with me?From (your name)"That shouldn't scare her off..

 The love letter itself is a bit corny and premature so I advise against it.
If you think there's a chance she feels the same way, why not just ask her out for lunch or coffee or something?

 To all writers, and would be writers the message is the same: 'Show, don't tell'.
It's the little things you do that prove your love, not what you write or say.
