Nope, this are the sizes:

A4 210 × 297 mm
Letter 8 inch x11 inch 215.9 mm × 279.4 mm

So the letter is shorter but slightly wider than the A4. If you keep a good margin you have no problem to print it but if you use the whole space in the letter format you can't print the page without rearrange the parts. I know that and for example I can't buy cardboard in letter size in my country.

I think the best compromise is design for a 200 mm x 270 mm rectangle so you can print in in both papers and you have some margin because some printers can't print without margins.
