Goddlefrood:

I trust you're all familiar with this:

"So: Dumbledore is referring to his last letter, which means, 
of course, the letter he left upon the Dursleys' doorstep when 
Harry was one year old. 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
"

If not then check out the full response at JKR's site on the 
above link. It *was* a letter he referred to as his last.

All the best
