the difference is the first one is present tense and the second one is telling someone that you get happy when you get a letter.

I am happy when I get your letter is describing my condition in general on the time of getting the letter. I get happy when I get your letter says simply that your letter makes me happy.

the first means that you are already happy when you got the letter the second one is you get happy when you receive the letter

what a question??................
i am is the present state you have the letter and your happy.
the other is the action from the latter state to the present state.
but i dont think the second sentence is grammatical correct repetitive.. go with the first one.
you became happy. you went from "not being happy" to happy :)
sounds like im blowing smoke but thats what i think....

The only difference is in the words "am" and "get". . .basically the sentences mean the same thing, getting a letter puts you in a happy mood. . .

i AM happy is in present tense. I get happy is either in future or past.

The difference is the second word in each sentence is different. It really isn't even considered a sentence though, thanks.
