I don't have enough information to agree that you have to move that fence if it's been there for 20 years. You may have acquired that portion of the property by adverse possession. Also, unless there is a court order in place (the neighbor sued you and won) ordering you to move the fence, you don't have to. A certified letter isn't enough.
