Why did sir Toby and maria write a letter malvolio?

Why is malvolio from Twelfth Night greedy for power?

He is not really. But he is incredibly vain so he imagines himself as being the beloved of Olivia and therefore having power over her household, even (and perhaps especially) Sir Toby. Sir Toby is family and Malvolio is only a servant, so Toby can rebuke him all he likes, and Malvolio can only take his revenge in fantasy. When Maria's letter falls into his hands, the possibility arises that fantasy may become reality. Still, Malvolio's dreams of the greatness that is to be thrust upon him is limited to the suggestion in the letter--that he might marry Olivia and be in charge of the house. This is really a modest ambition, when you think of it.
