Hello,
The align key seems to be ignored here:
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletterstyle[head][align=flushright]
\setupletterstyle[letterhead][align=flushright]
\setupletter[fromname=bla, fromaddress=bla bla]
\starttext
\startletter
bla
\stopletter
\stoptext
TIA for any help!

The head use predefined layouts and you can select between
a left aligned, a centered or a right aligned layout.
\setupletterstyle[head][alternative=right]

On page 99 of lettercorrespondence.pdf you write:
"The default alternative a prints the firstname and surname of the
author in the first line and the address in the following lines, the
text is left aligned but this can be changed with the align key."
What does that mean?
I thought, that "alternative" was more about the location and with
"alternative=left, align=middle", one could get a header on the left
side, and midaligned.

The “alternatives” are different predefined or user created layouts
for the elements (like head, reference etc.) and some of the layouts
restrict the options.
With the alternative “a” i print only the values from the variables
“fromname” and “fromaddress” while “left”, “middle” and “right” are
complexer. Another feature from the last three alternatives is that
the alignment is fixed and you can’t change it, when you want
a different layout then create your own header.

So the sentence
"the text is left aligned but this can be changed with the align key."
should be dropped perhaps?
