Cuántos

Now "cuántos" instead of "cómo"

The sentence is:

... quiero que les digas cuántos somos...

My book says: I want you to tell them how many of us there are...
I said: I want you to tell them how many we are...

I can't understand well that "there are". In that case I think the Spanish sentence would be something like "cuántos de nosotros estamos aquí".

Thanks again

there are = hay
hay varios cartas para ti = there are several letters for you
