I am not sure it is so easy to be done by LyX itself, but I obtained the expected effect with a lot of latex in the layout file . I didn't check for the usual "letter" class (I'm using the class "lettre" from D. Megevand, and posted an incomplete layout file for it long time ago), but I guess it could be done the same way. Basically, define in the preambule a new latex function for each layout, which stores the value. Then define a new latex function which use this values as argument to the "real" functions of the class, in the required order, and assigned it to a new empty layout which acts as a marker for the end of the message.
