Is the letter legit?
We got lots of hoax letters for our domains.

Yes it comes from
The thing is I did not buy the domain with them it was with a different company all to gather.

if it's .uk domain nominet will always need paying whoever you go with. Usually the company you register with would pay them on your behalf..... At least I think that's how it works.
Maybe they they're fucking you over.

It is a .co.uk domain. But I still cannot figure out where the hell they get £109 pounds for renewal.

You didnt buy anything in the firs place..you are just paying registration fees.
You should have the right to transfer to another registrar (which can cost as low as $7 a year), but you need to read the fine print of your original registrar contract (especially if it was combined with a hosting agreement).

The expensive price is what you would pay if you renewed it through nominet directly.
You can renew the domain through whomever you registered it with initially for the normal price.
Essentially the mail from nominet is just a reminder.
This page explains a little bit about it.

I have been using 123-reg.co.uk for a few years. I have transfered all my domain to them.
It's cheap. You can manage your email (including cname). They have a special offer and you can transfer a domain to them for free.
