你需要考慮的是動詞reach的主詞可以是物嗎,而不是letter會不會自己動(其實在擬人寫法時,物有時也是可以自己動的)。查英英字典就可以解決這個問題:
When someone or something reaches a place, they arrive there.
When the bus reached High Holborn, Tony rang the bell and they jumped off together.
Collins Cobuild English Dictionary for Advanced Learners pp.1274~5

由此可見,reach(=抵達= get to)的主詞可以是物的。

The letter reached me the day before yesterday.(本句無法將原動詞reach改寫成被動態,因語意不通)
= I received the letter the day before yesterday.
= The letter was received by me the day before yesterday.
(He probably mailed me the letter a week ago.= The letter was probably mailed to me a week ago.)

The letter was reached me the day before yesterday.這樣寫是錯誤的。如果用被動的reach來寫,怎麼還能再有一個受詞me呢?被動態的句子裡,主詞letter就是動詞reach在邏輯上的受詞。此外,就算把me拿掉也是不通的。這跟reach這個動詞的用法有關。

動詞reach的被動用法(注意語意):
He can be reached at this number.=打這個號碼就可以跟他連繫上。
Men are often reached by flattery. =人常為恭維的話所動。

The letter=it=pronoun used as arbitrary subject (decided by random)as a that thing,group,idea already mentioned etc.
reach= v.= to arrive at or come as far as; get to; often after much time or effort;
Further eg:-After several changes of address, the letter finally reached me.----past tense., which is the form of a verb that shows the act or state described by the verb happened or existed at some time before the present moment.
eg:-I reached the end of the short book.
eg:-The legislative council news only reached me two days ago.
eg:-She has reached the age of 25 !
eg:-The sales of iphone7 has reached record level in Korea.
eg:-The two sides failed to reach agreement in the Council.
eg:-The snail reached the vegetables on the ground.
eg:-The ship reached to the horizon two days ago.
eg:-The ladder won t reach as far as the outside window.
eg:-The ladder reached down to the road !
eg:-Could you please reach the letter from the mailbox ?!
eg:-The monkey reached out for the fruit two days ago !?
eg:-The letter reached me two days ago.= past tense.

被動語態要從受詞的角度去考慮, 而不是從主詞的角度. 所以你以"信"的角度來看, 如果要用被動, 那它的身分是受詞, 所以會有另一個"主詞"來做這個動作:
Someone sent/delivered/mailed/brought the letter to me. =>
The letter was sent/delivered/mailed/brought to me.
所以"信"可以[被(送/寄/帶)]
可是reach是"到"的意思, 即使是中文也沒有"被到"的說法, 英文也沒有. 這個動詞強調的是[從有距離變成沒有距離]的狀態變化, 所以不用被動.

1. 要是在英語裡面 每個動詞 都要區分 <主詞 可以是否 是 物>的性質 的話 老美 都要自殺200次了.
2. 這位版主 問這隻問題 也是想要 讓我來 臭罵他一頓. 當然不是 只有這位版主才是醬子 幾乎所有我教過的台灣人 都是醬子: 就是 <當 在學英語的時候 整個人 都變成 語言博士 連走路 右轉彎 都要先查閱 說明書 13次 以後才知道 要怎麼做> 你拜託一下 用一點 人類的基本常識來使用英語 好嗎?

<信不會 自己送 所以要用被動> 這種 白目理論 3歲以上的人 會說得出來嗎?
真的是醬子的話 <錢 也不會自己花> 那你為神會說 <錢 都花完了>? 反而少說 <錢 都被花玩了>?
<飯 也不會自己吃> 那位神 大家都說 <飯 早就吃完了> 反而少說 <飯 早就被吃完了>?
<屁 也不會自己放> 那位神 大家都說 <屁 放得好大聲> 反而少說 <屁 被放得好大聲>?

3. 是 中語 特別 聰明 才會醬子?還是阿多仔 龜毛 主動被動 上 斤斤計較?
當然不是 醬子 你引用的句子 才會醬子寫

4. 所有人類語言 都是醬子:

當 <動作人>(actor)是誰不重要的時候 <物> 就會 取代 <人> 而變形為<主動>
A) 例子:
<錢>都花玩了 因為<動作人>(誰花的)並不重要 所以 <錢> 就取代 <人> 而變主動

5. 這 <文法/龜澤>是應該 <博士班>的人才應該知道的.其他人會用(而且每天都在用)但是 不應該要知道的.
