This is a made up letter but would be similar to the one many workers in the kingdom would write:
My dear friends, In response to a problem of concern to God's people in Minnesota, I hope to clear up a few things. Often God's people in the bible were wronged but they kept a right spirit of forgiveness about the problem. Joseph was wronged by his own brethern but Joseph didn't want the Egyptians to know about it. David was wronged by Saul but David spared Saul's life. Jesus forgave those who hung him on the cross. Stephen said lay not this sin to their charge. When we look back from eternity's shores, the problems we face will seem so insignificant to the joys of eternal life. The enemy of our souls would love for us to focus on the faults of God's ministry and people. While there are problems, this is still the ministry Jesus established on the earth. It is important that the people of the world don't hear about the shortcomings of God's people. The problem has been taken care of and a new worker will be coming to the MN field. It is all in God's hands. Let's practice forgiveness and keep a right spirit so we aren't moved by such experiences.
Your brotherXXXX
I imagine a letter would sound like the above letter I made up.

Letter from parents of child who's lives was destroyed by pedophile worker.
To whom it may concern;
I see your 15 year sentence in prison is up, I still do not feel like that is enough for the years of torment you caused my child and other children who's innocence you stole away at such a young age. Due to the action of those in charge we shall never know the full extent of your horrendous acts. Still I would like to bring to your attention the grave harm you caused my child, and perhaps other children whom you have destroyed.
Due to your actions my child has undergone years of therapy. Since your actions she has suffered low self esteem, still believing the actions which took place are somehow her fault. That she is a terrible person. She is unable to let go of the pain which she has felt for the past 15 years, it is slowly eating her spirit away. Not only this she has not been able to have a loving relationship with us her parents. She trusted us to protect her, and somehow she feels we have let her down. We let you into our home, and trusted and revered member of our church, and you have broken our trust and destroyed our child, and destroyed our family. Even worse yet you have destroyed our child's faith, and we do not believe she will ever be able to trust God again though we pray for her daily.
She does not have many friends. She can no longer trust other people. Though she is of the age now that she can date, she can not even let a man come near her as she remember the pain caused by one man which she trusted a little to much. She preferred rather to stay in her room away from others, crying herself to sleep at night.
It has only been recently that we have found out that our daughter has been taking part in self harm. Using a small razor blade she would cut her self multiple times on the upper part of her arm, but then she would wear long sleeved shirts to cover it. We were horrified when we found out. When confronted with it, she stated, "That when the pain is on the outside, it dampers the unbearable pain on the inside". It is the only way she can escape the pain of what you did to her at this point in time. We have brought this up to her therapist, and we just hope that with her help and a lot of prayers we can do something to help our daughter before she tried to do something more permanent.
I hope you will remember this letter for the rest of your life. What you did to my daughter. What you have done to our family. This is damage which will never be undone. Pain which my daughter will carry with her for the rest of her life. I hope that the shame and guilt of this, and all the other children's lives which you destroyed, will stay with you for the rest of your life tormenting you.
Distraught parents of a broken child.

Mark 9:42 (KJV) And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Those who harbor, hide or shuffle a pedophile to another area and thereby expose other innocent children is worse than the perpetrator and they will not be immune from Jesus' words above.

Ah, freespirit,
I just love your spirit! It's so kind! And unlike the rest of us, who'd want to send poor old child molesters off to a horrible place like jail, you'd like to...completely set them free--of all their earthly cares and burdens!
And off to a "much better place" than earth!.
How kind of you to give unto him what you yourself wish to have--a free spirit!
Truly, you get my vote.
