Hi all,

I've converted by CV from OpenOffice to LaTeX and I'm wanting to do the same for my covering letter.
When I write a letter in Word/OpenOffice I create an invisible table with two cells (one row) and have the receiver in the left cell and the sender (me) in the right cell.

The default letter class looks ugly, and every other class I've found that does letters doesn't have the parallel addresses that I want.

Does anyone know of any good document classes that do what I want? Or does anyone have experience in writing letters in LaTeX?

Thanks,
Ben

I know it's not a real answer, but this post seems to have some ways to make the standard letter class a little less ugly.

Thanks Edd,

In the end I just used the article class, stripped out the \maketitle stuff and used \hfill between the sender and receiver address. Not perfect, but it works.
