LaTeX provides 7 levels of sectioning: \part, \chapter, \section, \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph, and \subparagraph. \chapter is only available in book-type classes (e.g. book, amsbook, and report), and \part isn't available in the letter class.
Each command also has a starred version, e.g. \section*{…}, which produces an unnumbered section. You can also set a short title for headers and the table of contents with \section[Short Title]{Much Longer Full Title}.
