Umm...

I don't know if I should say this... but...

I'm not sure that exactly helps; we still seem to be in different worlds.

Something is relevant if it is important to the writer, or the writer can reasonably assume that it's important to the audience. Everything that's relevant should be communicated, unless there is a specific reason not to.

If I'm the intended audience, and it's my role to address all of the writer's concerns, I need a complete list of those concerns. It doesn't need to be exhaustive, but if something is important to the writer, it should be on the list so I can address it.

So, either the reason presented above is important to you, in which case it's relevant and should be in your letter, or it isn't, in which case what you wrote above is inaccurate (because you presented it as an important reason).

Since I know that you're careful and skillful about these sorts of things, I must be missing something. I'm just not sure what it is I'm missing.
