I'll write you
Well that will be a short fucking letter then, only consisting of the word "you"

Unless you meant you'd write to me, you cuntmarlin.

I feel the same, but then you do telephone someone.
I'll 'phone you, or I'll ring you.

So now I simply don't know who to believe.

That's because...
In the case of the telephone call, you are the only object.

When it comes to writing, the implied letter is the main object, and you are the second object.

Nonsense.
What about the implied telephone instead of the letter?

Um
"I'll write to you" means "I'll write a letter to you".

"I'll phone you" doesn't mean "I'll phone a telephone you".

I'll ring you?

It's the verbalising of write. Just as it is of telephone.
