Etwas unnatürlich
This is so close that I may have been unfair saying 'A little unnatural'.
I would be tempted to write:
Here's a letter from her.
Let's see what she has to say.
'has to' does not mean 'must' here. Think of it more like 'Let's see what (important things she has) to say. What does she possess (have) in terms of things to say.
'Let's' is short for 'Let us'.

Why? 'Let's see what she has to say' is correct, but why not 'must say'? I've learn must is the same as have to.

@RossLeicester so you mean that what she has + to say, not what + she has to say?

@Burdock There are some contexts where it would work, but it would require 'her' to be required to say something. E.g.
As a flight attendant, there are some things that I must say to passengers who are causing a disruption.
However, your context has a letter. I can't see how there could be any compulsion for the letter writer to have said something. Therefore 'must' does not work.
'has to' and 'must' aren't always the same. This is an example where their meanings are quite different.
