In the letter to MPs Marco Longhi and Gavin Williamson, Andy Street, Facebook campaigners, police and members of CAMRA, Mr Sunak praised the spirit of the Black Country people who 'help make the country strong'.
It also condemned the 'appalling arson attack and the then unlawful demolition of the Crooked House pub'.
Mr Sunak said he had been following with interest and admiration the efforts Mr Longhi and so many others had put into making sure justice is served.
The letter read: "The Crooked House clearly wasn’t just a place for a drink. It was, as you have often said, a home for the collective memories of tens of thousands of people from the Black Country and beyond.
