Aaaaaargh, I always have that problem too! I think it is "in", you read something in a letter, in a document, and you can write something in a letter or in a document. But maybe you put your signature on or in a document, and you sign on a document...

You write in the letter when you are writing the message, i.e., the ideas, of the letter.
On a rare occasion, perhaps having received an application letter, you might write something (like "Rejected!") on the letter. But note that this is not writing the message of the letter.
In the first case the letter is an abstract idea -- a communication.
