prevent very short last page

Question

I am using the letter package to format, as you may guess, a letter. In fact, the letter is a personal one, making it especially awkward if the last page contains only a few lines of text.
What options are available to force some kind of allocation of text to the preceding pages that the last page is unlikely to be more than say, three-quarters empty?

Load the geometry package with an adjustment to the (or new) margin settings. For example, here's a letter without/with geometry:

documentclass{letter}

%usepackage[margin=0.75in]{geometry} % Use this to adjust the margins
usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}

begin{letter}{Some person}
opening{Hello}

lipsum

end{letter}
end{document}
