I'm pretty much the opposite side of the political spectrum to Reagan - as a European left winger he was pretty much the bogeyman for us in the 80s - and I still found it funny.
It's pretty much what people would expect Reagan to write if it had been a serious request warranting a reply. What isn't expected, and makes it funny, is the humour of actually replying and pretending to take the letter seriously.
I think it'd lose its humour if it was markedly out of character and didn't sound like a serious reply.
