I'd keep it short and sweet. I would select a sample of documents from the list you provided. For instance, you could select one (jointly addressed) document or two individually-addressed documents (one for each one of you) for each quarter (3 month period). Hope this helps.

Hi Sheraz

I am preparing my ILR application which I will send by post after mid February; I have a plan to include the following documents;

3 x letters addressed to both of us; from different sources
3 x letters addressed to wife only; from different sources
3 x letters addressed to me only; from different sources

I think this will be more than enough for them; hope you will agree.

All the best.
