Both items are graphic elements anchored in the First Page Header.
Click View > Header and Footer, and then you can select them and
delete them.
In fact, a watermark is nothing more than a graphic anchored in a
header. The ones in the Contemporary Letter template, because they
weren't inserted with the watermark dialog, don't show up in that
dialog -- but otherwise they behave the same.
