I have a form on our website that clients fill out an estimate form and it is emailed back to us. The contact information of the customer (ie. name, address, city) will send but the rest (ie. Type of est, How they heard about us, etc.) will not.

Here is the html

didn't mean to double post. I just wanted to be more detailed in my question so someone can answer it.

I tested this, short of sending an actual email, and when I echoed the $letterBody variable, it contained the expected contents. I see in your code a commented echo statement. When you echo this, do you get the expected contents???

I don't see anything that would prevent a plain text email from sending this contents (the dash - in front of the names is permitted as far as I know, you could try changing this to some other character.)

When this form/email code was the version without the table for the form, did all the values get sent in the email or have these never worked?

Yes it works fine without the form being in tables. Thats what I dont' understand.
