Hi Rasmus,
Thank you for sharing this patch. I have changed ox-koma-letter.el as
well to fit my needs but didn't publish my changes.

IMO your approach goes into a questionable direction here. Following it
we will end up defining the complete letterhead and letter layout by
setting org-mode variables. Wouldn't it be better to use Markus Kohm's
concept of letter class options to set all the static stuff?
If I write a letter, I would like to say "this is a business letter from
Michael Strey", give the address the date and maybe some references and start
writing. I do not want to give in my phone number, my e-mail address or my
backaddress. I don't even want to see them in the org-mode document.
Therefore I have two letter class options, one for my private letters and
one for my business letters that contain the complete letter head and
foot, phone number, backaddress, e-mail address and so on.
Following this concept ox-koma-letter.el should support LCO and the
following variables and nothing else:
- customer
- date
- invoice
- myref
- specialmail
- subject
- title
- yourmail
- yourref
- address
- opening
- closing
- cc
- encl
- ps
- language

I would opt for dedicated variables.
