Method 1 (frame based):
\starttext
Some text on line
\hfill
\startframed[width=fit,align=flushleft,frame=off,location=top]
Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box
\stopframed
\stoptext
Method 2 (layer based):
\definelayer[letterhead][width=\textwidth]
\setupbackgrounds[text][background=letterhead]
\starttext
\setlayerframed
[letterhead]
[preset=lefttop]
[offset=0pt,frame=off]
{Some text on line}
\setlayerframed
[letterhead]
[preset=righttop]
[offset=0pt,width=fit,align=flushleft,frame=off,location=top]
{Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box}
\blank[force,4*line]
\input knuth
\stoptext
