Help! I recently wrote a letter and used the word effetely instead of effectively. Is there a difference?

Example: My ability to communicate effetely would be an asset (or) My ability to communicate effectively would be an asset. What is the difference between the two words? Thanks :-)

Effetely -

–adjective 1. lacking in wholesome vigor; degenerate; decadent: an effete, overrefined society.
2. exhausted of vigor or energy; worn out: an effete political force.
3. unable to produce; sterile.

So, what do you think? Do you want to communicate effetely?
