**What happens:**
- Letter is marked as deleted (soft delete)
- Letter disappears from organization letters list
- Letter data is preserved in the database
- Letter can potentially be restored through database operations

**Use cases:**
- Remove letters that are no longer needed
- Clean up test or draft letters
- Maintain data integrity while allowing cleanup

**Note:** Requires `writeLetters` permission on the Organizations resource.
