You can redefined \firsthead and/or \firstfoot to whatever you want them
to be in your own LCO file for koma letters.  For instance, I have the
following in my firsthead:

#+begin_src latex
  \firsthead{%
    ~
  
    \vspace*{1cm}\hspace*{-2cm}\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{/home/ucecesf/synced/cartas/ucl-line-logo}

    \vspace*{-4cm}
    \usekomavar{fromaddress}

    \usekomavar{fromname}

   }
#+end_src

Nontrivial with or without LaTeX knowledge...

My magical incantation above, requiring moving backwards in the page, is
because the UCL logo for letterheads is the full width of the page.

I specify the LCO to use in the org file with

  #+lco: fraga

The other alternative in LaTeX is to use the textpos package which
allows you to place arbitrary text boxes anywhere on the page.

HTH,
eric
