Morphology
The meaning 'a sincere and emotional letter' is directly derivable from combining 'heartfelt' (sincere, deeply felt) with 'letter' (a written message); the adjective plainly modifies the noun. This is a straightforward adjective+noun composition found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Heartfelt letter comes from the simple image of words coming straight from the writer's heart and being truly felt. That's why it means 'a sincere and emotional letter'.
