Excellent letter, Gary. Perhaps the list of websites could be enclosed as an
appendix?

As an editor, I'd like to make 2 suggestions to that paragraph:
Change "But" to "Yet" in the first line.
Change "That is a vastly more..." to "There are far fewer service packs
available today."

I suggest changing "stating" to "detailing" or "explaining"

"Exceptable" should be "acceptable"
Maybe something on a highly limited scale would be acceptable.

I'd say "There have been many discussions about how to implement Bulk Orders
among Adult Fans of Lego. Is there someone on your staff to whom suggestions
may be sent?"

I'd suggest: "We are not seeking discounts; in fact, we are willing to pay a
premium for pieces we want to avoid the distraction of dealing with pieces we
don't want. All we ask is the opportunitiy to purchase a subset of LEGO pieces
directly from TLG."
Just hoping to help,
