Dear Sue, Mark, Steven and all those brilliant people who create for us Sherlock series! 

We, Russian fans, were really shocked and surprised when the leak of "The Final Problem" episode happened. We didn't expect this from the First Channel on Russian TV and now we feel bad even if it wasn't our - fans - fault. It is Spanish shame.

In Russia, we highly appreciate the opportunity to watch Sherlock series at the same time as people in the UK do it (starting just 1 minute later). And now all Russian fans are really scared and we're afraid that you and BBC-One will forbid it for us. That you can decline the broadcasting of "The Final Problem" in Russia and the broadcasting of the next series of Sherlock too (we really hope it's not the end!). 

Please, don't do this!

We need to be part of the Great Sherlock Family! 

We need the opportunity to watch Sherlock at the same time with other people in the UK and in the world! And then to express our emotions and to discuss it! That's a great pleasure for us!

We LOVE your amazing show very much! 

And we hope you will be merciful to us.

Sincerely,

Russian Fans.
