Front Range Warlock
Somebody else posted this elsewhere, though I though that it was a neat idea and clever way to fawn over favorite games. So, I'm going to give it a go here (note that I have a few favorites).

Dear D&D,
You've been around for a while but your years of experience make our every meeting better. Though your rules are many, those that exist are far more polished than those found in most up and coming games, meaning that I have to worry less about if they'll work at the table. That peace of mind is nice. Thanks also for nearly thirteen years of fun!
Your fan,
James D. Hargrove

Dear Basic Fantasy RPG,
Thank you also for being simple and building on the foundation of a tried and true system (D&D). That "different for the sake of being different" stuff is for the birds. I like a game that I can pick up, read, grasp, and play in an evening. Thanks for being that game. And thank you also for not telling me how great you are every few sentences. That kind of self-centered vanity is a real put off. Hats off to you for being modest.
Sincerely,
James D. Hargrove

Dear Principia Malefex,
Thank you for your thorough and scholarly treatment of sensitive topics such as rape and religion in the context of horror roleplaying games. Thank you for not taking the road more travelled and showcasing a collection of low brow sexual jokes or satire in some sad, desperate, attempt to earn yourself a "mature content" label. Your professionalism is deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
James D. Hargrove
