"I want to send my congratulations and that of my family to you all on reaching the final of the European Championships, and send my good wishes for [Sunday] with the hope that history will record not only your success but also the spirit, commitment and pride with which you have conducted yourselves."
The letter was sent shortly after the England manager said he wanted his players to do "positive things" which could "help to change or influence society".
In the run up to England's first major tournament final since 1966, he said the team had been a driving force in promoting "tolerance and inclusion" in modern England.
Despite some criticism, his team has taken the knee before each Euro match in a show of opposition to racism. The squad also announced last week they would make a "significant" donation from their prize money to the NHS if they win.
It also emerged the wife of the England captain, Harry Kane, has written to her husband saying she cries when she considers how "proud you're making us all and what you're doing for the country".
Kate Kane, 28, wrote how the father of her three children "deserves to lift that trophy" and to "bring it home for the country".
Addressing him as "Skipper", she adds how she "used to laugh" when he used to say he would one day become England captain.
