In a sentence

てがみ手紙letterをかく書くwriteよ

I'm going to write a letter!

How it works

The object comes first: を (object) marks 手紙てがみ (letter) as the thing being written, and the verb 書くかく (write) lands at the end — Japanese is verb-final. The casual final よ (you know) adds a little push, like telling someone what you're about to do.
