As would I.
Mailmerge, or just have a list of names, addresses,
like
Mr A
B,
CCity,State
then write a latex file, like
\documentclass{}
etc
...
Address
Body of letter
yadda, yadda
Then write a short Perl script, that reads in names (recordseperator
would have to be set to ^$, enter the address
where appropiate
and get a set of tex files
