Hi,
Sorry for not replying earlier, I've been in a mode where I let my
orgmode mail accumulate.

Yes, it's nice to be consistent with the other exporters. Keys were
chosen when latex export was not hierarchic, so keys had to be disjoint.

As the order matters, as said in some replies, I prefer the
AFTER_CLOSING approach.

I rely on an lco for that. To give you an idea of my setup, here it is.
A letter starts like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+latex_class: my-letter-fr
#+lco: InriaRennesFR
#+title: Lettre de Recommandation pour ...
#+opening: ~
#+closing: ~
blah blah
#+END_SRC
My latex class looks like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
'("my-letter-fr"
"\\documentclass\[%
DIV=14,
fontsize=10pt,
parskip=half,
subject=untitled,
backaddress=true,
fromalign=right,
fromemail=true,
fromphone=false\]\{scrlttr2\}
\[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\[PACKAGES]
\[EXTRA]"))
#+END_SRC
(I realize writing this that it is ugly: some should go in the lco
file. I just hacked this until it worked.)
Finally, my lco file
#+BEGIN_SRC latex
\ProvidesFile{InriaRennesFR.lco}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Alan Schmitt}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Projet ...\\Company}
\setkomavar{place}{blab bla}
\setkomavar{date}{le \today}
\setkomavar{signature}{\includegraphics[width=2.5cm]{AlanSig}\\Alan Schmitt}
\KOMAoptions{fromlogo=true,foldmarks=off,subject=left,addrfield=false}
\setkomavar{fromlogo}{\includegraphics[width=59mm]{somelogo}}
\@addtoplength{firstfootvpos}{-2cm}
\setkomavar{firstfoot}{\includegraphics[width=4cm]{another logo}}
\setkomavar{fromemail}{alan.schmitt@...}
\endinput
#+END_SRC
I found that with this setup I can quickly write a letter. If someday
I need letters with a different setup, I just need to change the lco.
