You can use the Scale option, but you need to reset the main font; instead of Latin Modern you can use whatever font you want.
\documentclass[12pt]{letter}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=1.2}
\setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman}
\linespread{1.2}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{R. E. Cipient\\
Some Place\\
Some Street}
\opening{Hi,}
this is a letter about getting big type.
\lipsum[1-2]
\closing{Best regards}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

@user34083 Because it is typographically incorrect (and ugly). For some details, see How to specify font size less than 10pt (or more than 12pt)?– yo'Commented Aug 28, 2013 at 13:22

@user34083 The class only supports 10, 11 or 12 points. One could try the
extsizespackage, but with theScaleoption is surely easier. The only addition is setting\linespreadto increase the leading.– egregCommented Aug 28, 2013 at 17:41 -

@user1521655 Well, try not doing it and
fontspecwill warn it's not able to do the scaling.– egregCommented May 24, 2019 at 20:17
