Ask your friend with the scanner whether he has some OCR software to go with it. You can then scan the letter use the OCR software alter the required date and print it out.

Scan the letter then use an editor such as paint.net to alter the image - you can blank the incorrect part of the time and may well be able to copy and paste the new digits required from other parts of the image if the letter includes those characters.
