It is important to be able to write a good letter, even in our age of e-mail and instant messaging. It shows several things.
First, it shows that you have been educated in a school system that values written communication. Therefore, someone can assume that other aspects of your education are of similar quality. It also shows that you have taken the time to learn things like writing in complete sentences, using proper punctuation, and other such things.
Actually writing the letter, and writing it well, shows that you give attention to details, and that you feel that the person to whom you are writing is important enough that you are making this effort. This is true whether your letter is written to the CEO of a corporation, or to Grandma and Grandpa.
Good letter writers tend to be people who can communicate with others, regardless of the form this communication takes. Employers will assume certain things of you, based on a letter. If you are applying for a job via this letter, it gives a potential employer some insight into the kind of worker you would be. A slovenly or poorly written letter tells the employer that you are either ignorant of the correct way of doing things, or you just plain don't care. Neither of these options leaves her/him with a good impression of you. They will also think that you will not be good at communicating your ideas within the company. A well-written letter gets you past that "first impression" hurdle, so that an employer can get on to the merits of your application.

If you are ever applying for a job where you need to send in your resume, not just drop it off, you're going to have to have a letter with it.
If you ever have some issue with a company or otherwise, a well-written letter is going to be listened to much better than something that comes across as being unrefined.
There are probably lots of others if you stop to think of them!

Your writing tells the world a lot about what you think of yourself, as a human.
