Question about Purple Rain press kit with handwritten letter

Dear org, I need your expertise. I bought a prince press kit about 20 years ago in a record shop in London.

Included was a hand written letter from a certain Steve.
I hold this thing very dear in my collection. But lately I've been wondering: Is this even a real press kit? Has anyone here ever seen one of those? Has anyone an idea, who Steve might be? And: what is it worth?
Thank you for any insight/information you might have...
See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...

It looks quite legit to me. I presume Steve is Steve, one of the producers.

I had one of these and sold it not long ago, but can't recall for how much.

It's def a WEA release, and the hand written note is an awesome addition!
And the fact that it was signed by a Steve ads more to the mystery seing as one of the producers has that first name!
Not sure how you could confirm though.

cool

Thanks! I always wanted to believe that this letter is from Steve Fargnoli himself, but who knows? Does anyone here maybe have something he wrote to compare the handwriting?
