"Alpha", the first letter of the Greek alphabet, is considered the beginning of a series or sequence; "the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end".
Therefore, when they ask you to use the Alpha letters it means just the First letter.

Shapour is correct -- here is an example, in a set of directions:
"USE ONLY ALPHA LETTERS AND DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF SPECIAL CHARACTERS "

They mean not to use punctuation such as - and '
usually because their computer program can not
correctly handle it.
