Somebody says like this. 'It will take 1 or 2 weeks for you to receive my letter.'
Is grammatically OK? I'm wondering about this.

1 and 2 should be spelled out, but that's being nitpicky. and I would say, "one to two weeks" not "one or two weeks."

It is grammatically correct with a small change. If using within a story or paragraph, you would spell out the numerals:
It will take one week, or two weeks for you to receive my letter.

"1 to 2" or "one to two".

since you are using 2 numbers it is appropriate to do numerically...otherwise if only using 1 week you would spell it out

How about simply saying...
"You should get my letter sometime within the the next fortnight."
