Although, I have my own interpretation of Moriarty's letter. I don't think she's necessarily talking about Sherlock, in terms of getting to know someone (or whatever it was she said). IMO, she's referring to Joan.
She wants to get to know the woman who beat her, and she's using Sherlock to do that, because he's the closest person to Joan, right now.
That's a really interesting take on it. I've seen the ep twice now (I was lucky enough to see it with an audience at the Paley Center), and there's so much going on there at the end, that I *still* haven't taken Moriarty's letter in word-for-word. I have the ep downloading now, so I'll go back over the ending with that thought in mind.
Poor Sherlock, though - just as he's reading Moriarty's words about 'getting to know another person', Joan, completely innocently, tells Sherlock that she shouldn't be the only one who knows him.

Had to have creeped the hell out of him.
