You're using the wildcard in the wrong place.
Should be
"like '$letter%'";
Or,
"left(column, 1) = '$letter'";
use a die() and mysql_error() to report problems to the browser:
$result =mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emply_info WHERE LEFT(Lname, 1) =
'$letter' ORDER BY Lname, Fname DESC",$db)
or die("Database error: " . mysql_error());
