Hi Paul,

you have to use the \setupletterlayer command to change the entries in 
the reference line.

\usemodule[letter]

\setupletter
   [name={Joe User}]

\setupletterlayer
   [reference]
   [list={name,date}]

\startletter
...
\stopletter


If you don’t get a title for your entry you can add it with the 
\setuplettertext command.

\setuplettertext[de][mobile=Mobilfunknummer]
