Well I can think of people who would be *delighted* to combine the "10%" figure with their own "few hundred" figure to yield a FP user base of 3,000. Armed with the denominator, that sort of FUD is "scuttled and cannot be saved".
If there is a message I'd say it is "get the numbers together and they'll listen". Your point about letters is well taken; recently I read a piece saying that if a politician receives 20 letters from unconnected recipients on the same topic, the politician takes it seriously. How about 2,000 letters, or (going for the 10%) 20,000 letters?

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
