How To Generate Thank You Letters
Auctria has a built-in simple Donor receipt that can be sent via PDF or email, see Item Donor Receipts for more details.
If you want more control over the format, you can use the Printing Word Documents feature set and customize the Donor "Thank you letter" template by selecting the Donor Receipt "Document type".

You can, for example, customize the letter with extra text about your group and event. If you do not want the list of items/donations shown, simply delete the whole block after:
{% if ItemsDonated %}
After finishing your customizations, save the template to your computer. Then on the web site, select the "Document type" and click Upload Template.

You can now select the template using the radio button next to it, and click on Generate Document to produce the "Thank you letter" items for your Donors.
If you need to adjust your custom template, you can modify the version on your computer and then click on Replace to overwrite the one you previously uploaded.
