We, the signatories of this letter, form the group of Adult Fans Of LEGO® (AFOLs).

I am going to assume the above is a mistranslation from the original German version. Please correct it so it more properly reads (for example):

We, the signatories of this letter, are members of the group of Adult Fans Of LEGO® (AFOLs).

As it currently reads, the letter appears to speak for all AFOLs, which is incorrect. I strongly suggest you change the wording before attempting to deliver this letter. It’s a small but vital difference.

(...) Thanks for this input, Kelly! Of course the authors of the letter had not the intention to speak for all AFOLs. This is in fact a (minor) mistranslation. It will be fixed before the letter is handed out to Jan. Kind Regards, Ben (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
