You call this a letter agreement – please explain

An agreement can be in the form of a letter.  When the letter is accepted and signed by the other party, it is an effective binding agreement just as a more formal agreement between Party A and Party B would be.

A letter agreement is more user-friendly than an agreement written in the third person.
