| (...) I'm not terribly fond of the "Dear Lego Company" bit-- perhaps if it were addressed to Jorgen Vig personally. But if it's addressing the company as a whole, I'm not sure it even needs the "Dear company" bit. (...) Maybe it's just me, but I (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

| Hey, David, After giving it a quick read, I've got two suggestions: 1) I don't see anything wrong with addressing the letter to a real person, ideally the CEO of LEGO (whose name escapes me at the moment). I think a personally-addressed letter makes (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
