Outside the US, you'd need, "I was written to by my girlfriend." Otherwise you could sound like a second rate novel.

I'd suggest that inside the US you need the "to" as well.

There's a difference between "I was written" and "I was written to by my girlfriend."

I neglected one of the original sentences.

To whom was this note written?
It was written to me. -- This sentence is fine.
