The next letter is:
s
Because:
each letter is the beginning of a month in chronological order. The next month to be listed is September.

1$\begingroup$ can you censor the answer? I would have tried thinking more about the question if I hadn't seen the answer right there, didn't even have to scroll. tried to censor myself but edit has to be at least 6 chars... $\endgroup$ – Dave Cousineau Jun 29 '15 at 19:21

$\begingroup$ Sorry about that, @Sahuagin. I've moved the answer to a spoiler and removed any clue information from the visible text. $\endgroup$ – Ian MacDonald Jun 29 '15 at 21:53

The next letter is
S
because
the pattern is the first letter of each month and September is the next month after August
