Did we ask about ox-beamer?  If we support the creation of slides why
not letters?  Both are "representations" of LaTeX and extensions of
ox-latex.el.

Based on "google" search, the Worg page for the exporter has some
attention.

My — biased — opinion is that ox-koma-letter provides a nice way of
typesetting and structuring letters (compared to the raw tex format),
e.g. here:

   http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/koma-letter-export.html#sec-1-3
