In outline, what you need to do is this, in a plugin:
1) Define a couple of query variables and a rewrite rule in WordPress
to match your URL structure.
2) Use the the template_redirect action to redirect to your newsletter
page when this URL is requested.
Here are some reference articles (see also articles referenced in
these articles, if you need more background):

processes URLs

query variables and rewrite rules
Good luck!
