Any idea where to find their email addresses?
Not email addresses, but there is the option to PM their official HiRez Forum accounts.

Ok I emailed the letter
I made the changes people suggested , corrected Grammer, and added the part about how we are using a custom launcher.
If we get a reply I will post it here.

Could you show us what you emailed, just for future reference? Thanks
Also thanks for sending it. Let's see what happens.

This is a good letter, I would say, though there are a few issues I can see. Firstly, there are some inconsistencies in spacing (double spacing, you shouldn't space before a comma, nor after an open bracket/before a close bracket, for example) as well as capitalisation. Also, capitalising each You is incorrect. Finally, there is never a reason to use Comic Sans, especially not in a formal letter.
Here's a fixed version (I've also cleared up the image a little, the faux handwritten font is inappropriate)

Well, sure, if a group of people goes forward and we manage to convince them that this won't do any damage to their product (remember, its a company) and that the port will work 100%, I believe they could be ok with it. We need to provide proof that we are willing to develop and fully test their game for them to even consider giving us information / source code or resources. We (of course) don't ask for money, which is always good for them, and any profit they get from this will be 100% profit.
This, however, could also go the wrong way as well. If they're not impressed with what we are trying to achieve, they may as well ask us to quit doing any more progress and essentially kill the project. I will definitely not resist any such requests.
Now for the practical part. My free time is not that much, so I couldn't go forward with planning and making contact with them, unless they agree and we start communicating on the technical part. If someone is willing to handle this, you're welcome.
hmtinc sure you can join. You can share the beta with the other testers for now, as my own version is far from that and kinda broken.

Your concerns I would say are valid in terms of convincing them that there is only profit to be made from this on their side, and that there will be no negative press that comes out of it for them. What I mean by this, and what you bring up when you say fully tested (etc.) is that as soon as they endorse it and it doesn't work 100% or is a little shaky, they have [some] responsibility. While it's still an 'underground' project over here, they have none of that, and it's this transition that will probably prove to be the most problematic.
You're right, Thanoulas, in worrying about the possible ramifications of making them aware of this project, though it's possible that they already do know and also unlikely that they would ask you to stop, unless you're doing anything unlawful. Considering it's a free-to-play game, I don't see any problems arising, however. On the other hand, I have no knowledge of Hi-Rez' track record when it comes to community involvement and support.
I am willing to help certainly with contacting them, am a native English speaker and generally express myself eloquently (I reckon so, anyway
), so hmtinc and anyone else, feel free to contact me either my pm or via email (nytestryke24@gmail.com), also can make graphics/do design if that were to be required. I also have video-editing experience if that should be necessary for whatever reason 
Additionally, I'd be willing to help with the beta testing if there's anything I can do, so if someone wants to send it to me, provided Thanoulas gives the okay, that'd be cool.
(though I would just say at this point that like everyone else my free time is not unlimited, unfortunately
)On a final note, good job from everyone, Thanoulas in particular of course, on coming so far, I think and hope we can make this work as a joint effort. Let's do it?

This may be a stupid suggestion, but have you tried getting in touch with HiRez Studios? Maybe they'd be willing to help, as this port wouldn't harm them in any way but rather generate new players. Just an idea
