This really is a hard one to figure out.
If you remove 4 out of 5 letters, you obviously are left with only a single letter. The only single-letter words in English that I can think of are the pronoun "I" and the article "a"........so we have to think of a 5-letter word that makes either one of these sounds. Beats me!
I'm assuming you don't consider "o" to be an actual word in English; this is more of a poetic form of "oh" and wouldn't work in your puzzle, I don't believe.
Please give us the answer, unless somebody has come up with it in the time it takes me to post mine!

This question is slightly mistaken. There are actually TWO such words in English:
I believe the one INTENDED is the first of these, but whoever made up the question overlooked the second one.
