software for printer automation with microsoft word and excel database

hello..

I have to print off donor acknowledgement letters each month for donations made by check in the mail, and I keep track of the checks in an Excel database. At the start of the month, I print off letters for the previous month. I am looking for a way to automate said process, if anyone knows of a way to accomplish such.

Excel file:

firstname | lastname | donation amount | mailing address
john | smith | 20.00 | 123 street dr
mary | smith | 15.00 | 456 street ave
joe | smith | 25.00 | 789 street court

Letter example:

Hey $firstName,

thanks for making a contribution in the amount of $donationAmount

blah blah

Thank you,

I am looking for software that would allow me to create a document template similar to the reading above and print off letters using the Excel file as a database. Does anyone know if such a program exists and/or a way to accomplish this using Microsoft's Word and Excel?

I tried searching on Google and found a few results saying this can be done with Word and Excel, but couldn't find a clear enough tutorial that explained it in a way understandable to myself. If anyone could link a good tutorial, help explain, or know of another program that can do so - any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thankful for any assistance.

still trying to figure this out, any ideas?

I can build one for 100$, TAT less than 1 week, I go first as you're reputable.

PM me your Skype if you want me to work on it.
