It looks like a professional letter, while everything I found in the web rathers proves that programmers are not designers, even with a tool like LaTeX at hand. > If you are after latex templates for letters in specific, I think Org > mode might be the wrong tool for that.

Thanks for the tips, but I don't have time for that at the moment and was rather hoping that somebody already did the work and likes to share. Of course this is not a LaTeX list, but it would be OK too to just have a nice LaTeX template and write with AucTeX, even if Org mode is not used (yet). > Footnotes: > > [1] Off the top of the head I recall a package called `scrlttr'. Yes, part of KOMA (?), but thats rather low level if you have to design your own letters - and who knows all that stuff about professional letter design?. I tried that once and the result was ugly, there is a lot of extra work necesary to make it look fancy and modern. -- cheers, Thorsten
