Possibly. A notary public may generally take the acknowledgment of any instrument of writing. The notarization is certified by the notary's official signature, seal/stamp, and a notarial certificate. It could be that the letter you received actually requires notarization by law. However, the creditor may have also simply had the letter notarized in order to make it look more "official". Notarization does not make a document any more legal, it only proves that the signer of the document acknowledged that his or her signature on the document is genuine, or that the signer took an oath that the contents of the document are true and correct.
