OK, there's two files here, the lyx and the latex it generates. I
really know nothing about the latex.
I've put the return address in the LaTeX preamble, so it's not normally
in my way; i presume you could put the same information in the body.
It's a hard-core, brute-force, hack. Parkave isn't part of the normal
latex distribution; i made it from the postscript fonts since it was
the closest match to my regular letterhead. The font sizes are
designed to match this. Replace them with whatever you want.
The ERT to get the parbox in lyx was necessary for some reason that I
forget; it may have been that I designed it to work with mailmerge when
printing over 100 at once.
I'd use lyx; it's much easier :)
