Excellent. I have a letter and I want it to look pretty. I got
totally confused with OO.o last time I tried it (I am not used
to word processors).

Gimme some starting points!

Really, I want address and date in the top right, but in a block which
is left-justified. And then -- well. A letter. And a big gap to scrawl
my signature. And I don't want things like "title: testletter" all
over the top when I print it.

Suggestions?
