Only a small minority of people were able to write at all and most of the surviving letters are from Egyptian royalty to the royal families of neighbouring countries - but these would have been dictated and written by scribes.
Other letters are in the form of official reports from officials or army officers, again written by scribes. These letters were always written in hieratic script rather than hieroglyphs.
