Thanks, Khadija for your comment. If you observe the transition from "they" paragraph 1 page 2, then, I used "we" because "I" became one of them. I have this letter checked by a writing center at my university and the person who has linguistic degree proofread it for me. I was asked about this question as well. Then, when she read it again, she told me that it was okay to change pronoun in this context. It is the flow of information.

However, I will recheck it again with my American friend tonight.
