It all depends on the type of letter. If you can live withoud reflow and
fixed text positions just create your letter with Word, print it to PDF
and add text fields with Acrobat. You can fill those fields with a
couple of line from iText. If you want reflow you'll need to recreate
the document each time you have new data. UJAC may be a good option for
that.
