Jo responded on her site that she was referring to the last letter strictly sent to Petunia when Harry was left on the doorstop. There have been other letters, but they were addressed to both the Dursley's not just Petunia.

But why then (you may well ask) did he not just say 'remember my letter?' Why did he say my last letter? Why, obviously because there were letters before that."

OotP says "Remember my last, Petunia,"  not, remember 'my last letter' as JKR stated in her answer.  Remember my last could mean any type of communication they had, not necessarily a letter. 

The problem is, he must have sent a letter to the Dursley's regarding the incident with the car.  In PoA Dumbledore says: "But I must impress upon both of you the seriousness of what you have done.  I will be writing to both your families tonight."   We know Mrs. Weasley got a letter since her Howler to Ron arrived the very next morning.  So 'his last letter' would have been the letter about flying the car to school, not the letter he left on the doorstep with Harry.  Mrs. Weasley, in GoF says, "I've had more owls from Hogwarts about them [the twins] than the rest put together."  Harry's been in plenty of trouble why wouldn't Dumbledore send letters home about his behaviour as well?  Only stands to reason that he would.
