I would save this letter until after she has reciprocated your affection. To me, it just feels like to much of a good thing.

I'd try a subtler approach first (assuming you haven't already). Suggestion: buy her a new bottle of de-icer (since she used almost all of hers on your car) and pair that with a sweet-and-funny card that says something like "So you can save me from winter once more." That'd be the general idea anyway...

It says all the things your letter would say, without drilling it in.
