Is a pre-approval letter required when making a offer on a house?

I've talked with my loan officer and confirmed that my wife and I will qualify for a mortgage in february when she gets her raise. The problem is that the house I want is on the market now and I want to make a full-price offer, but can't get a pre-approval letter until february. Do I need it to make an offer?

I'd like to submit an offer and suggest a closing date at the end of february. By then my wife will have gotten her raise, and we should be in the clear. Right?
