If I understood correctly the letters are supposed to be some sort of roleplaying. I would be sooooo far out of my element.
But it's easy, just convert your feelings about Miranda, to your Shep's feelings about Miranda. What did your Shep see in her? What do you think drew them together? Was Cerberus a help or a hindrance to their relationship? From ME2 - ME3, how did your Shep feel about their relationship? And so on...
@dtrain,
sorry, we're just doing this roleplay-ish type of letters this time. We wanted to differentiate the letters that we used for the last project. It's really easy, though, here's an example:
Dear BioWare,
My Jaine Shepard was a colonist and "Ruthless". She had seen some terrible things, and done some terrible things. She romanced Kaidan during the hunt for Saren, but he was too "good" for her. To Jaine, he had made one mistake by accident a long time ago, and she had made many bad decisions on purpose, and day by day, it was eating away at her.
When Jaine woke up on the Lazarus station, she saw it as a chance to do better and move forward without the iron fetters to her past. She still had that hard edge, that tendency to lash out when diplomacy might have suited better, but instead of beating herself up over it, she just used to fuel her desire to be different. This was her new chance, she wasn't going to screw it up.
Seeing Kaidan on Horizon was, difficult. She had "hardened" Garrus during their time on the SR1, so meeting up with him wasn't so awkward. But Kaidan; he had changed and it wasn't her fault. Worse, he blamed her for it. She hadn't chose to die, to leave him mourning her for two years! She'd been dragged back from death to do her damn job and despite her determination to do better, she wasn't about to take the blame and all the mental anguish that goes with it, for something she didn't do. Jaine was done with Kaidan; his email was an insult and she didn't respond.
When she met Thane, the half-harnessed beast inside her, calmed inside its' cage. She couldn't get the image of his cool stare, his body outlined by the red and orange light of dawn, out of her head. He was very sure of himself, and his skills. The news of his terminal illness, his eventual death- if the suicide mission didn't do it- she swatted it away like an insect.
She was determined to get to know him and quickly found herself developing feelings for the drell. Jaine was the Butcher of Torfan, but she wasn't racist, and wasn't concerned with his history; for a long time, she had considered the military a means by which to murder many, only with ribbons of honor and duty and patriotism tied to it. Jaine saw no difference between her occupation and Thane's. She had no problem loving an alien, and seized each day with a ferocious joy; to do what she'd been brought back to do, to save people and stop the Reapers, and to spend every free moment she could with Thane. Because he was her equal. She couldn't push him around, he could hold his own in combat and conversation. He understood what terrible deeds done in the past do to a body, but like Jaine, he was trying to live in the present.
This is why I can't accept the culmination of Thane and Shepard's relationship in Mass Effect 3. Shepard doesn't get to say the things she should have been able to say; she doesn't get to tell Thane she loves him. Jaine didn't get to "live in the present, in the moment" with Thane. She didn't get any opportunity to show some emotion at his deathbed; denial, tears, anger. She doesn't get to express disbelief that nothing still can be done for Thane, or demand why other treatment options aren't available. I loved nearly everything about the Thane romance in ME2; I only wish I could say the same for its' conclusion in ME3.

Honestly all I can contribute is my character face code. I'm not a story writer or an artist.
