A letter is a document that is usually formal and is referred to an individual or a group while an Epistle can simply defined as a document that is referred to a broader audience such a society or community.

A letter is mostly written for specific reasons or occasions thus for both the writer and the recipient e.g Apostle Paul's letters while an epistle is mostly written as a general document to serve as a foundation.
