To find the surface area of the letter C, we first need to calculate the area of each individual face of the letter.

The letter C can be broken down into three rectangular faces - the front face, the back face, and the side face.

Since the letter C is made of blocks with dimensions of 4 ft x 7 ft x 15 ft, we can calculate the area of each face as follows:

Front face: 4 ft x 7 ft = 28 sq ft
Back face: 4 ft x 7 ft = 28 sq ft
Side face: 4 ft x 15 ft = 60 sq ft

Now, we add up the areas of all three faces to find the total surface area of the letter C:

28 sq ft + 28 sq ft + 60 sq ft = 116 sq ft

Therefore, the surface area of the letter C is 116 square feet.
