BEN Affleck wooed Jennifer Garner through email.

The Juno actress — who married the actor in June 2005 — admits the Hollywood heartthrob won her over through the internet because he has such a good way with words.

“It helped that we were both single at the time,” she said. “He’s a very good writer.”

When asked if Affleck wrote her love letters, Garner said, “Don’t make assumptions. I didn’t say that! Okay… e-mail. He’s a very persuasive writer.”

The 37-year-old beauty — who is divorced from actor Scott Foley – said the secret to their relationship was that they were friends before, and knew how to be “goofy” with one another.

“Ben is sexy and kind, but he’s also a riot,” said Garner. “We can be very goofy together. He doesn’t have trouble wiggling his way in anywhere. Ben is charm personified when he wants to be. He’s not easily threatened or made uncomfortable – he’s very secure in that way.

“Maybe he just knows I’m nuts about him, and he doesn’t have anything to worry about. Don’t forget we were friends first for a long time.”
