Sending mail: "Error reading 'instance'"

Hello,

I'm trying to send mail and I need to fetch a body of a letter from a database. The database-talking object extends EntityHome:

@Name("letterHome")
public class LetterHome extends *EntityHome<Letter>*
{
 ...
}

The Letter entity has the body field.

It's OK when the value of this field is retrieved anywhere in the project but the page which is intended to send mail:

<m:message xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
           xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">
    
     <m:from name="Компания бюрократов" address="emanemos.stuff@gmail.com" />
    <m:to name="Наташа Данилина">emanemos.home@gmail.com</m:to>
    <m:subject>Just another test letter</m:subject>
    <m:body>
         <html>
             <body>
               <s:formattedText value="#{letterHome.instance.body}"/>
          </body>
         </html>
    </m:body>
</m:message>

Here's the method used to send mail:

public void send() {
    try {
        renderer.render("/readyletter.xhtml");
        facesMessages.add("Successfully sent");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        facesMessages.add(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Mail sending fail: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

And finally the error message it throws:

Mail sending fail: javax.el.ELException: /readyletter.xhtml @10,58 value="<p>blah-blah</p>": Error reading 'instance' on type org.emanemos.mailbox.session.LetterHome_$$_javassist_seam_3

I would be grateful if anybody could explain how to deal with this problem.
