I think it is a good letter, with a good tone. You are very clear about your needs and you don't place any blame.

It's difficult to know how the letter will be perceived, however, because I don't know the amom. One thing that I wondered is if parts of it might be a little overwhelming. You absolutely have every right to state clearly what you'd like, but the goal is to maximize your chances of success. Therefore, it might be better to just ask for letters & pics, or visits, etc., instead of everything all at once.

Best of luck to you and I hope the aparents are able to respond in a positive way.
