Had this problem be formulated CORRECTLY, it would say if repetition is allowed or not. 

    English alphabet has 26 letters (we consider only capitals).


    So, if repetition  IS ALLOWED,  we have   four-letter  strings starting with L.


    If, on contrary, repetition  IS NOT ALLOWED, we have 25*24*23 four-letter strings starting with L.
