Very well written. Very nice words.
My opinion:
-Keep to calling him Eric - change the "Mr. Johnson" in the beginning
-And the rest is mostly agreeing with Leonardo:
-please find a name for the passenger or change that (I hope you just left that as a substitute until you find out the name). Seeing "the passenger" is really bad especially since this letter is being addressed to all of them not just Eric. It kind of makes it seem that we only care about the Mazda owner here
-Even though we appreciate our forum and understand the beauty of it's chaos and community, leave our dramas and history out of it. I think Leonardo has a point in saying that we have to think about the audience here and their situation - his parents won't care to read that
-Leave out paragraphs 3,4,5,6 and it would be better
I don't think we should take this opportunity to tell them that people on our forum have learned their lesson and will street race less because of this incident (especially since that's probably not true, but an idealistic thought). I agree that our forum is special and the dynamic is just amazing, but do his parents really care right now? They just want to hear that people care, not that people will change their acts because their son is dead - it's too soon for that.
