You specified that the main characters are the group of friends which means you have a multi protagonist plot. These type of scripts are hard to write and execute well on the page seeing as a single protagonist plot is a feat on its own. I think best to pick one character as the ring leader the head poncho and use that character as the main point of view character to tell the story with.

The motivation for the characters to deliver letters after their friend dies feels weak and more of a convenience. What is it that happens that, beyond a doubt and without much explanation, motivates someone to need to deliver a bunch of letters?

The circumstance of the friends death is not an obstacle it is a revelation that could motivate a mid act 2 change of approach but not oppose the characters from achieving their goals.

I think the concept needs re thinking here are some questions to consider.
What single character will drive the story and have it be about? What is that character's clear and well motivated goal?

Unlike before use these questions as pointers to help with a re draft the logline answering them in a post will likely not be as productive.

Hope this helps.

The main characters are the group of friends, that were all best friends with the deceased. Their goal is to deliver the 100 letters he left behind, the opposing force is the fact that he did not commit suicide but was murdered and there is now someone after his group of friends, and the stake is their very own lives.
