The question is whether she'll read my letter.

Literal

Problem [topic-は] she [subj-が] my letter [obj-を] read-[favor-てくれる] [whether-かどうか] [copula-です].

Adds the explicit 私の ('my') to 手紙. Without it, the possessor would simply be inferred from context; making it overt is a small choice for emphasis or disambiguation.
