You opened the document with the incorrect program, probably NotePad.

Change the suffix on the name of the document.
- Left mouse click, scroll down to rename, click rename, change from Letter.XXXX to Letter.doc

You should then be able to open it as a Word document.

Or you can try left mouse click
-Scroll down to open with, double click on MS Word.
