Based on "google" search, the Worg page for the exporter has some attention. https://startpage.com/do/search?query=koma-script+letter 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 http://orgmode.org/w/?p=worg.git;a=blob_plain;f=images/ox-koma-letter/koma-letter-new-example.pdf —Rasmus -- Summon the Mothership!
