The reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system
date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate
fields - ALT+F9 change { DATE } or { TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy" } to { CREATEDATE
\@ "d MMM yyyy" } then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in your
letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct
dates. The formatting switch \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your
location.

When I draft a letter and save it and then reopen it later, the date
always
changes to the current date, even when I do not use the auto insert date.
i
erase the date and put it in manually but it still happens.
