OK, spent a little time after breakfast pondering this, and was able
to come up with a solution:

<?php

function _format_date_callback ($matches) {
$date = new DateTime ();
$date -> modify ($matches[1] . $matches[2] . ' day');
return ($date -> format ('Y-m-d'));
}

$letter = 'Please respond by {{DATE+10}}.';

$date_sub = '/\{\{DATE([+\-])(\d{1,3})\}\}/i';

$parsed_letter = preg_replace_callback ($date_sub,
_format_date_callback, $letter);

echo $parsed_letter;

?>

Now the only remaining issue is to wrap it in a loop to catch all the
possibilities.
