First of all you did not use pdftex. You used some form of 
LaTeX. This is not a LaTeX list. So what letter package did 
you use? There is letter.tex but that is a plain tex 
package which should work with pdftex, not pdflatex.

Second, you wrote your own command to put a background page 
which provided a letterhead. Does the file compile 
correctly if you leave this macro out?

You don't have to use a background package to include a 
letterhaead. You can simply insert the letterhead first as 
a graphic and then move on to the body of the letter. I am 
of course assuming a pdftex aproach, and not a LaTeX 
approach.
