Still, you should at least send a letter; I know I am, and I haven't seen the OOT (save for ROTJ) in widescreen.
Speaking of sending letters, here's mine:

Dear AFI,
I have heard that you are showing the 1977 movie Star Wars as part of the celebration of your fortieth anniversary. I am of the younger generation being fourteen. Despite that, I am interested in seeing the original unaltered version of it - in otherwords, the real 1977 movie; however, I am guessing you will be showing the 1997 revision released by Lucasfilm. I am e-mailing you to protest and ask you to do a proper showing of the original version of Star Wars - known to fans as the original unaltered trilogy. As stated before, I am very intersted in seeing the original version, which I have only seen once on a low-quality recording of the three movies. If you are not planning on doing so, I would like for you to change the date on your description to 1997; that way, you would not be confusing fans such as myself.
Thank you,
Kevin Brennan
