"What is so offensive about such a letter?"

To you - you say you'd laugh about it if it had been sent to you - it's probably not offensive.

I, too, would laugh about it. I wouldn't personally find it offensive if I was the recipient. (Though I would be certain to put it online for all to see).

However, it wasn't either of us that received it. It was an elderly couple who, and I quote, "were more than a little upset to be addressed in this manner"

That's what makes it offensive - it offended the couple it was sent to.
