If you have MS Word installed then it is fairly easy to run a mail merge. If you do not have Word then you could download Write which is an Open Office free equivalent.

Basically a mail merge uses to 2 files.

The primary file is a letter or form that contains placeholders where the name and address is to be installed, plus other data fields depending on what you are merging. The main body of the document contains static data.

The secondary file contains the names and address and any other variable data you want to insert in the primary file.

You need either Microsoft Office (not Works) or Open Office which is the freeware alternative, and the tutorials.
On either program F1 will also get you the Help menu and you can search for 'mail merge' in that.

http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html - the tutorials are in PDF format.
