Making assuptions, did you try unselecting the Remove material normal to surface option? Text that doesn't go thru the sheetmetal feature will have a problem bending if that is selected (first icon in following pic).

They could, but until then what sort of lettering are you interested in making?

Are you just trying to emboss a part number or something like that?

You could use graphics for this if you wanted.  You can make something called a decal.  And you can wrap curves onto the surface.

Just remember that sheetmetal prefers everything remain a single thickness.
