Dear Chloe, John Doe`s script is a good start, even though it will work for single words space separated. The LINE Variable only passes the Arguments as single words to ($1 and $2 respectively). I will also work on something for you too...

I have a file. list.txt (two columns)
column1 column2 name address
I need to put in the letter file letter.txt eg:
Dear: Chloe Address: CA
Can I use this
for i `cat list.txt` | sed 's/Chloe/$i.1; /CA/$i.2/g' $i.letter.txt
For single words space separated:
cat list.txt | while read LINE do set $LINE printf "Dear: %s\nAddress: %s\n" $1 $2 >> $1.letter.txt done
