In my opinion Letters For Peace is not a good way of investing money and
effort. Some of the reasons:

- Filtering done by the Soviet postal service
- Influence of the "public opinion" on political decisionmaking = 0.
- Totally warped perception of the possible mechanics of movements
  like "Letters".

In other words: the letter won't get there; if it does the effect will not
be what you hope it would; if it is - so what, it does not matter anyway.

Probably, a better way to spend the money is to expand the broadcasting of
the radio programs to the USSR.
