Well I assumed it would be since you already have a "quite nice"
OpenOffice template. If you are after latex templates for letters in
specific, I think Org mode might be the wrong tool for that. The tree
structure is a fundamental part of Org. This works very well for
articles, reports, theses; however I'm not sure it works as well for
letters. You might be better off by just using latex directly.
That said, maybe you could look for a latex template on CTAN[1]. Then
you could customise org-export-latex-classes to include the
documentclass provided by the package. Although I'm not sure how a tree
structure could be mapped to a letter.
If you do succeed, I would be interested to know.
