Dear Thor:
Here's a setup for a business or personal letter that produces a
letterhead and the addressee's information on the letter. This allows
the sender to use envelopes with windows to avoid separately addressing
envelopes. I usually print a dozen or so of these envelopes with my
return address in advance.
Vertical spacing of addresses and other features is controlled by the
\type{\blank[..]} command. I experiment with this depending on the
number of lines in the address or where I want to place horizontal
lines.
% Jump to a new page to see the footer
I'll jump to a new page to illustrate the footer for the second and
subsequent pages. \page
There is no footer on the first page and no page number. Many letters
are only one page long. But on those with two or more pages, it is
useful to have page numbers and other identifying information.
\blank[2*big]
Very truly yours,
[signature space]
