You want to do a "Drop Cap".
Do a google of  "css" + "drop cap"
Several examples out there

Here's a sample I culled from the web. 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style>
.dropcap {
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
float: left;
text-align: center;
font-size: 20pt;
color:red;
font-style:italic
}
</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor=ddddaa>

<TABLE><TR><TD width="200">
<p><SPAN class="dropcap" >
T</span>his is a dropcap
text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text </p>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
</BODY> 
</HTML>
