If you really add text, things look quite different. Try this modified version of your code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{letter}

\usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig,lipsum}

\signature{Cookie Monster}

\address{Cookie Monster\\
    Sesame Street}

\begin{document}

\begin{letter}{Kermit the Frog\\
          Sesame Street}

\opening{Dear Kermit the Frog,}

%\begin{minipage}{7.5in}
\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{12cm}
  \begin{center}
     \rule{2in}{4in}
  \end{center}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1-2]
%\end{minipage}

%\begin{minipage}{7.5in}
  \begin{wrapfigure}{l}{12cm}
    \begin{center}
      \rule{4in}{2in}
    \end{center}
  \end{wrapfigure}
  \lipsum[4-5]
%\end{minipage}

\closing{Sincerely,}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

The widths of the minipages are not well chosen (too wide). By the way, do you really need minipages?
