Yes, in theory.

Letter of the alphabet is easy. However, that may run a pretty high risk 
of trashing real email. If someone sends you an email with the subject: 
"5 days until John's B-day" it will be considered spam.

Matching to a dictionary is a little harder, because AppleScript doesn't 
know what words are in the dictionary. So you would have to give it a 
list to compare to. That could be a list contained in a file, but I 
suspect that would turn out to be PAINFULLY slow as it compared to each 
word in the file (and any decent dictionary should have 100,000+ words in 
it).
