I would argue that this bug has no change of effect here.. whilst we don't
allow passing objects through from the GetPreperaredLetter call yet, we DO
already pass objects into the actual template parser from within
GetPreparedLetter.. pass tables etc and you get given objects back.

As such, I think we can safely push this and defer the decision/challenge of
context as it's a pre-existing issue.
