Hi Robert:
This is why I suggested Org-mode earlier. It uses a very light weight
and human readable markup language.[1]

In Org-mode, one can publish a letter to LaTeX or pdf using the
ox-koma-letter backend.

For tables, Org-mode have a built in table editor (with a full menu). It
is actually a spreadsheet with the full power of calc behind it. For
even more complex table layouts, Org-mode supports table.el.[2]
As for diagrams, Org-mode supports many methods such as artist-mode,
ditaa[3], etc.

In Org-mode inline pictures are included using a very simple syntax like
this:
[[./img/a.jpg]]
[[/some_path/b.png]]
If one is running Emacs graphically, one can even display the pictures
inline in the buffer.
