If the accuser dies before a court case is resolved, the case may still proceed, depending on the circumstances and the type of case. In criminal cases, the state typically continues the prosecution, as the government represents the public's interest. In civil cases, the claim may be passed to the accuser's estate or heirs, who can choose to continue or discontinue the case. However, the specific laws and procedures can vary by jurisdiction.

More than a letter - you would have to file a 'motion' with the court to continue the case with yourself in place of the original plaintiff.
