This was all I could find. I did find a love letter from Henry, samples of handwriting, but not love letters from Anne. Sorry, and good luck.

Love letter to Anne, from Henry:

There might be a photostat or whatever of one in a book called "The Private Lives of the Tudor Monarchs" by Christopher Falkus (the link below lists libraries with a copy; but my dad found me a nice copy somewhere online for my very own). Any decent bio of either one of them, or a solid text about the Tudors overall should also have a copy among the illustrations. There's also a book called "Letters of the Queens of England 1100-1547" by Anne Crawford (Editor) that shows signatures.
And, oddly enough, many of those letters ended up in the Vatican's archives. See if they have put any online.

I love Tudor history. Just type in Henry VIII and it will give you sights, there is one in particular regarding life and times of Henry VIII, there you will see letters to Anne Boelyn. Also, there is a lot of poetry and songs that were specifically written to win Anne over.
If you like this period, showtime , has The Tudors ( a mini series airing in April)
