Please try this approach instead:
find / -iname dead.letters | xargs rm
The difference is that the minimal number of rm commands will be executed to
get the job done. The -exec will cause one process for every file that
matches. Not a big deal if there are only a few files, but it can be a very
big deal if there are thousands.
