So, conservative friends, fear not: We’re not plotting to lock you up in detention camps. We need you to keep us honest. But you’ve been scammed in ways that have hurt the country we all love. Hold us accountable, but please do the same for the charlatans who deceive you, use you and cheat you.

I’m not sure a letter like this will help. Those who believe conspiracies are devilishly hard to convince otherwise. Attempts to convince them confirm their beliefs.
