Tammy,
In this case I'd probably write these letters and save them for her rather than sending them at this tender age. If you feel her parents are withholding her from you, wait until she is old enough to understand the facts of your presence in her life to send letters.
Continue to write her on special occasions and send those cards, perhaps, but also write just chatty letters about who you are and who you imagine her to be which you save for her later in her life.
Best to you,
