i did this once as an exercise from a jean houston book. (jean houston rocks, by the way!)

it was slightly different though -- cos we were supposed to imagine that our childhood selves knew our grownup selves and wanted to say something to them.

mine was something like:

dear my good friend madge,

you are so much fun and i love spending time with you. most grownups i know talk to me like i'm stupid and seem to spend most of their time running around like crazy people.

but when i come to your house and see the pretty things youve made, and hear your stories and tell you mine, it gives me hope that being an adult could actually be pretty fun.

if anyone tells you anything mean, you let me know and i'll make my big puppy dog eyes at them till they say sorry. cause i think you are the best and i love you!
