I think we mean:

        followed by
        a letter of an American keyboard,
        i.e. a through z and A through Z.

or more concisely:

        followed by
        a US-ASCII letter
        i.e. a through z and A through Z.

or more loosely speaking:

        followed by
        an English letter
        i.e. a through z and A through Z.

I'd favour this last form of expression - precise enough
to please those few who care, loose enough to let
the ignorant pass by undisturbed.
