Why would it have to be a bland voice-over? It's an email he sent to a friend. Have the friend read it. I imagine the friend would become emotional. That's far more riveting than a computer recreation, no?

I have not seen the movie yet, but I would take a guess that they wanted to recreate the voice-over similar to his television shows.

Hmm, perhaps even the recipient of the letter involved. I think this would have been a better dramatic choice.
