If I understand correctly, you have a first page of a letter with letterhead information at the 
foot of the page.  I wonder if some information appears as a header, for instance the name of the 
company or "From the desk of" which is the same on all pages?

If this is the case, I think you can do this with a simple template, in which you turn on the 
footer and include your company information there, and mark the footer to be on page one only, but 
I'm not sure about exactly which steps you need to take to achieve this effect.

Hopefully the template experts will be hard on my heels to assist.
