We really need a minimal config, in my opinion. I just tried fiddling
again and am having no luck after installing koma-script from CTAN (or
is that even something I need?) and adding =(require 'ox-koma-letter)=
to my emacs config (again, is that even needed?). I don't use koma, so
I'm lost as to how to get anything usable from your document in order
to troubleshoot.
