Ok carrying the letter forward. Please edit as needed.
Dear Amanda,
The entire Shipper Family of Gateworld is collectively putting this letter together in the hope that you will read it and see how much we all love both Stargate and the character of Sam. Some of us have been watching since the very beginning and some of us only started watching more recently. Our family is made up of fans from all over the globe including The United States, United Kingdom (please add your country here). All of us post on Gateworld, and more specifically in the Sam/Jack shipper discussion thread (come by and visit some time, we'd love to have you!).
We have all enjoyed watching both Sam and Jack grow and change and we think that their relationship has added an extra depth and dimension to the show. It is wonderful to see two characters who love and respect each other so much. A breath of fresh air when most television love stories are so badly done. We think that Jack is just a much better man for Sam. They've seen each other at their best and at their worst. They have been through so much together. To us that definitely lays the foundation for something special.
One common theme we have in this thread is that we all think that you are an extremely talented actress and the show is better off for having you on it. You bring a depth and warmth to Sam that enriches each episode. It is also wonderful to see such a strong female character on tv. (umm…wording?)
While reading various posts on this thread, one might notice a slight aversion to the idea of your character's involvement with Pete Shanahan. (Please don’t stop reading here). While we understand and even accept your desire to stretch your acting legs and explore Sam's development in other areas, we simply feel (rather strongly) that Pete, as we saw him on TV, took away from and weakened the character of Sam with his actions.
Please understand, we do not dislike David DeLuise (he’s sounds like a great guy, and fun to work with too) but we don't like what the relationship is doing to the character of Sam. What we've always admired about Sam is her independence, her strength, her intelligence, her commitment to the program and her teammates, and the fact that she still manages to keep a softer side and can express her feelings when she sees fit. In the relationship with Pete, Sam has lost many of those qualities. In fact, we've spent many hours trying to rationalize behavior we find to be "out of character" --and we've come up with what we think are some pretty logical conclusions-- but we enjoyed the character of Sam more when we felt we knew her. We just have a hard time reconciling Sam’s reaction towards Pete walking out on her and interrupting the stakeout with what we how we have come to expect Sam to act.
We are sending you this gift of two CDs, which contain some of the best music videos from two of our "family" members, Caty and Lisa. We hope you enjoy their lavour of love as much as we have! we suggest the delight of watching "Remember when it rained" "My confession" "Frozen" "Breathless" " Miss Independant" from Caty aka ShipDiva and ".........""............""............""...........""............." from Lisa aka Marimba.

I think it's touching, and I know AT will feel that way too.
