import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

public class MainClass {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    String[] name1 = { "Amy", "Jose", "Jeremy", "Alice", "Patrick" };

    String[] name2 = { "Alan", "Amy", "Jeremy", "Helen", "Alexi" };

    String[] name3 = { "Adel", "Aaron", "Amy", "James", "Alice" };

    Set<String> letter = new HashSet<String>();

    for (int i = 0; i < name1.length; i++)
      letter.add(name1[i]);

    for (int j = 0; j < name2.length; j++)
      letter.add(name2[j]);

    for (int k = 0; k < name3.length; k++)
      letter.add(name3[k]);

    System.out.println(letter.size() + " letters must be sent to: " + letter);

  }
}

11 letters must be sent to: [Patrick, Amy, Jeremy, Adel, Alexi, Aaron, Jose, Alice, James, Helen, Alan]
