Firstly, it is our honour to be able to communicate with you through a letter.
The thought of writing to the world's top soccer player is something that jolts our hearts. We are Korean soccer fans who are working hard to support you from the other side of the globe. Amongst us we have fans who have supported you since you started in Atlético Madrid, and also fans who started supporting you since you transferred to Chelsea. No matter what kind of fans we are, we share the same feelings, loving your passion and courage.
But what may be surprising to you is that, we are not related to any soccer association, we are EXO's fanbase. EXO is a new KPOP group which bases their activities in Korea and China, a twelve membered singing group. There is a member named Kai in the group, who is your loyal fan. When communicating with his fans on his official fanboard, he always shows his support and love for you. He mentioned that, "Torres is Chelsea's future." Because of this, EXO's fans naturally became your fans as well. That's why we are writing this letter. To you.
Kai's passionate talent is similar to yours. Though Kai specializes in the dancing field, and yours is soccer, the way Kai excels on the dancing stage is like how you shine on the green soccer field.
Kai, who is only nineteen as of now, though much younger than you are, and also with many areas for improvement, shares the same boundless innate passion as you. He loves the you who is in a totally different field, and the us who are in a different field are also supporting you for this reason.
Kai's birthday is coming. The him in the present, is like you when you first stepped into Liverpool, a teenage boy who thirsts to take his flight in a broader sky. As Kai's most favourite idol, is it possible for you to sign for Kai and to write a word of encouragement to him? For the teen who puts Torres' brilliance into his dance performances on stage. Your little encouragement may bring to Kai better hopes and dreams. At the same time, your support will not only bring Kai happiness, but also to all the fans. Seeing your signature and support, Kai may turn out to be like you, writing a new history, becoming the next "Torres".
You as a soccer star, and Kai as a singer, and us as fans, are gathered together by a special bond, hoping to create a new energy.
There are many negative remarks regarding you, due to some people bashing on your name and efforts. But we believe that you won't succumb to them, and please remember our unchanging support for you. You are Chelsea's future, the treasure on the soccer field, pride of Spain. You ride the green land, and the sweat you perspire with pride, for all these, we will give you support. Greetings to your cute children and family members! Wish you good health!
Korean soccer fans who are supporting you from afar.

As you all may have already know, Kai is a big fan of the soccer player Fernando Torres. And for Kai's 20th birthday this year, the fans have gotten Kai a Torres signed jersey, specially autographed for Kai. This was made possible, because of the above letter the Korean fans have written to him.
Here's a pic of the signed soccer ball and jersey from Torres himself!
Really touched by the efforts of the fans, and guess Torres was, too.
And this is why I decided to translate the above letter. ^^
