Formal Letters
Correspondence layouts for formal and professional letters.
Formal correspondence follows conventions that readers notice when they are broken: sender and recipient addresses in the expected positions, a date, a salutation matched to a closing, and space for a signature. Letter layouts set these once so the letter can be written as text.
39 templates

Swiss Formal Letter
A Swiss business letter built on chletter, with a real fold-mark crop tick and a left-side window-envelope address position (Swiss convention). French correspondence content.
Fax Cover Sheet
A fax transmission cover sheet built on facsimile.cls — boxed to/from/date/page-count header and an optional note box, a genuinely different document type from a correspondence letter. Patched a version-skew bug in the page-count extraction (see README).
Mail-Merge Form Letter
A mail-merge form letter built on formlett — one letter body with numbered placeholder fields, rendered once per recipient from a plain-text data list, producing one PDF with one page per recipient (3 shown). A different feature from every other letter in this batch: batch-personalised correspondence, not a single addressee.
OnlineBrief24 Letter
A modern DIN 5008 business letter built on onlinebrief24 (calibrated against the onlinebrief24.de hybrid-mail service). Ships with the class's `guides` overlay ON, showing the real DIN 5008 zone geometry, fold marks and address-window boundaries directly on the page — a technical inspection mode most users will turn off, kept on here so the geometry is visible in the preview.
Folded Postcard
A physical 5.5x3.5in postcard mailing built on postcards.cls — one message side plus one address-label side (real barcode + flush-right recipient block) per recipient, read from a plain-text address list. A different physical medium from every letter in this batch, not just a different layout. Patched a real silent-blank-page bug in the class's own geometry (see README).

A Dutch institutional letterhead built on uvaletter — department/visiting-address/reference-number masthead in a University-of-Amsterdam house style, distinct from the corporate and DIN letters already shipped.
