Early drafts of the script only had the characters of Joanna (Carissa Fawley) and Meagan (Allison Dupler). Joanna's fiance Mike (Roel Ruiz) and Joanna's mother Diana (Joni Ortiz) were added much later during script rewrites.
There are two alternate endings to The Letter.
This is the first film for the entire cast.

The majority of the film was shot and then sat around for nearly a year, before the character of Diana (Joanna's mother) was added and additional scenes were shot and added to the film.
