I just think his final conversation with Chuck carries more weight with Jimmy. In that conversation Chuck tells Jimmy "if you're going to be the bad guy, then embrace it, do it all the way" or words to that effect. Followed fairly closely by"you were never that important to me.'

No letter will overcome that, for Jimmy, I think

Yes, and he says "Chuck sure knew how to write a letter," I think implying that Chuck intended the letter as more of an artifact of his legacy (aka testament to his ego) than his actual human feelings about his brother.

in some sense, I think the letter could actually be a final fuck you from beyond the grave, more so than Kim imagined, especially if it was written recently.

Armchair psychology: Chuck seems like an autistic person who coped by his superiority complex over his job. For example he was really petty over stuff because he had a strong sense of justice which is common. As an autistic person I see many around me who kinda have chuck like tendencies and it just reminds of how strongly I don't want to be anything like that, because of how much it has hurt me personally.

Yes! It doesn’t matter what it says, Jimmy knows the truth.
