Hello,
I have a need for a web application to generate a letter for the end user
whcih will then be printed. The latter need to contain information from the
DB and other text that the user will input before creating the latter.

And where is the problem? Connect to the database, get data, show on
the form.

So what's the problem...?
 
Are you asking about MS Word-like letter merging functionality? It is quite
possible if you rely on the user to have MS Word installed on the client
machine. You need to get the data on the server in XML format, transfer them
to the client and use MS Word automation on the client. The client would
need to allow special security for the web application. If it is what you
are after, I can find some references for you.
