What is required to convert a 30 day visa on arrival to a non-immigrant o retirement 

OP, note you need a Thai bank account in your name only.

Do you have one.

Also need to show funds (800k) came from abroad.

Other requirements outlined in these attached threads

1st
30 day visa exempt, right?
do you have the 800,000 in the bank?
if so just go to immigration and apply for the 90 day non O

If not
contact an agent

The same as what is required to convert a tourist visa as per your other thread (except different application form, TM86 form for tourist visa, TM87 for visa exempt)

Good pickup from @Pattaya57.

 

Note also that in that thread the OP @Kilick did not make ONE subsequent post in his own thread.

Nor has replied in this thread.

 

All the answers and advice is detailed in that previous thread.

Then you repeat same question (apart from TM87) 

????

I am able to get an income letter from my embassy in bangkok. That will cover the required amount for the retirement. It is accepted?

It should be accepted. Picky officials might have questions about the source of income, but are usually satisfied after a short discussion.

Even with embassy "income letter" immigration may/will require you to show few months (2-3) of transfers prior to application.

With income letter, I believe there are no requirements for transfers.

That varies between immigration offices. Some offices can hassle you for all kinds of documentation showing how you support yourself in Thailand.
